Essays examining the identity of Queen Ahhotep through finds from her burial.

The personal adornments and further objects from the burial of queen Ahhotep belong to the most spectacular finds from Ancient Egypt. The history of their discovery is still a mystery. Even the identity of the queen is not fully solved. The twelve essays in this volume tackle different problems around the objects from the tomb of the queen.
