Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.

Photograph of several small gold elements arranged on a light background, including two curved finger-stall-like pieces and loose cylindrical beads/fragments, plus a gold fan-shaped and a gold collar-like element with dark inlay.

The image shows an arrangement of small metallic gold components associated with a finger-stall (as catalogued). At the upper center is a wide, circular, ring-like element with greenish ribbed bands and dark inlay/accents, attached to a gold fan-shaped collar with a central dark oval element. Near the middle is a separate gold, winged/fan-shaped piece. At the lower center are two curved, sock- or cap-like gold pieces that resemble finger stalls or finger covers, placed side-by-side. Scattered around are multiple small, gold cylindrical segments that resemble bead-like elements or decorative fittings. A few thin circular metal rings are also visible on the left, and one bright green ring/bracelet-like object appears on the right. No clearly legible hieroglyphic, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible on the photographed objects, and no cartouche or royal name can be confirmed.
