Bed Covered with Gold Sheet

Bed Covered with Gold Sheet 2748_310x310

Of all the beds
found, this one is the finest and most elaborate with a carved ebony
frame covered in gold sheet. It has a string-mesh mattress and its
footboard is divided into three panels.

The central panel is decorated in relief with the "sema-tawy" symbol of unification; the other two panels show plant designs.

Noting the scratch marks on the gold, the excavator concluded that this bed was actually used by the king during his lifetime.
