Imagine going into battle with a sword, scabbard, codpiece, boots, curly locks, a necklace of beads, bracelets...

He wears a necklace wrapped around his neck twice. The two cords of his necklace flow behind him, which also contributes to the sense of movement; onto them are threaded small spherical, conical, and flattened-spherical beads, three above and four below. Three bracelets encircle his left wrist, with one bearing a large lentoid seal, and one bracelet encircles his right. A scabbard is tied to his waist with a double-looped cord. Attached to the ends of the cord, which, like the necklace, also flow behind him, are spherical and papyrus-shaped beads.

wow....If I had seen this bead on an ebay site I would think it was a modern copy. I don't think the imagery on any of my seal beads
is anywhere near this amount of detail.
Wish it were mine ;>)

Intact Graves are such a valuable peek into almost every aspect of the Departed- depending on the artifacts, what is there, or sometimes, what is missing (as in the Groups that ritually remove the skull). I love seeing these un-looted Archeological Grave sites and what they yield. The Beads are beyond wonderful!
