Gold Signet Ring of Neferibre

Because this ring bears a cartouche of King Khufu, it was once world famous as the actual signet ring of the builder of the Great Pyramid at Giza. The inscription, however, shows that it really belonged to a man named Neferibre who was a priest in the cults of Isis and the deified Khufu at Giza two thousand years after Khufu died.

Late Period, 26th to 27th Dynasty, ca. 664-404 BC. Now in the Brooklyn Museum. 37.734E
