The team from the French-Egyptian Centre for the Study of the Temples of Karnak (CFEETK) has uncovered a large collection of gold jewellery and amulets, which was in a broken pot. The treasure, found during recent excavations at Karnak, is believed to date to the Twenty-sixth Dynasty, and includes beads, rings, a brooch, and a small triple-statue amulet depicting Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, all of which are in good condition. Following study, the collection will eventually be displayed in the Luxor Museum.
