Description: These beautiful armbands with scarab decorations bear the royal cartouche or kings name of Psusennes I and were found in this king’s intact NRT III’s tomb at Tanis, Egypt. The Dynasty 21 Egyptian kings Psusennes I along with his successor Amenemope and the future Dynasty 22 king Shoshenq II along with General Wendjebauendjed were buried in Psusennes I's NRT III's tomb chambers beneath the paving of the temple of Amun in Tanis, where they lay forgotten until their rediscovery by Pierre Montet in 1939. Unlike Tutankhamun's tomb which was brief robbed twice by grave robbers in antiquity, Psusennes I’s NRT III fully escaped detection by tomb robbers in antiquity.
