One of the earrings from the Gold Tomb excavated by Davis and Ayrton in 1908. Early in the digging season of 1907, Theodore M. Davis (an American Lawyer and infamous amateur Egyptologist) found a mysterious tomb just on the other side of the path from where, fifteen years later, Howard Carter (a previous employee of Davis) would find Tutankhamun's tomb. With Davis at this time were a number of friends and family - these included Joseph Lindon Smith (an American painter) also Corina his wife, Edward Ayrton (archaeologist) and Arthur Weigall who represented the antiquities service. Later they were joined by an artist - Harold Jones. Valley of the Kings by John Romer, page 217. *** Local Caption ***
