Finger Ring of Akhenaten and Nefertiti

New Kingdom, late 18th Dynasty, ca. 1353-1336 BC. Petrie excavations, 1891-92. Now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 26.7.767

This gold ring of Akhenaten and Nefertiti was found at Tell el-Amarna. The hieroglyphs may be read as an ideogram. The two seated figures are probably Akhenaten (left) and Nefertiti (right) as the deities Shu (air as indicated by the feather he holds) and Tefnut (moisture).

They were father and mother of the earth and sky, which are symbolically represented by the earth hieroglyph (below) and by the sun disk flanked by two sacred cobras (above).
