Old dress from egypt

4,500 year old Egyptian dress that was painstakingly reassembled from approximately 7,000 beads which were found in an undisturbed tomb in Giza, Egypt.

The dress is thought to have belonged to a female contemporary of King Khufu (2589-2566 BC). The original strings had disintegrated over the years but the beads were still in their original position, which allowed for an accurate reconstruction. The color of the beads had faded, but they were originally blue and turquoise.

The dress was not put together for more than 60 years after it was discovered in 1927 by Harvard University.
