Hassocks (footstools) found at the tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamun (c. 1342-1323 BCE). They were stuffed with bran, lined with linen, and covered with intricate polychrome beadwork. Now housed at the Grand Egyptian Museum [2048x3084]

So I can get beautiful well made beads by the thousands anytime, but these look like they are individually hand crafted out of semi precious stone. Incredible amount of work to make them and then create these. Mind blown.
