ancientpeoples:Pair of sandals18th DynastyNew Kingdom, reign of Amenhotep IIIc.1390-1352 BCIn 1905, Theodore M. Davis found a nearly intact tomb (KV 46) in the Valley of the Kings. KV 46 contained the burials of Yuya and Tjuya, the parents of Queen Tiye, principal wife of Amenhotep III and mother of Akhenaten. Davis was allowed to keep a portion of the finds, which he later gave to the Museum including two sealed jars, a pair of sandals, and a group of shabti tools. These sandals are made of plaited grass and reeds, with the toe and side pieces of split papyrus.(Source: The Met Museum) -- source link
