Here are some more information for Old Silver Carved:
The wealth of ancient Egyptian art discovered in the tomb of King Tutankhamen, sometimes spelled Tutankhamun (Tut is really a slang name but I will use it here for convenience) was the most exciting archaeological discovery of all time. There were over 5,000 inventoried pieces of artwork yet, it is difficult to believe about 80% of the jewelry and objects of precious metal had been stolen before the modern day discovery.
The discovery of the tomb and the art objects inside gave the young king a form of immortality. His mummy still rests inside the tomb unlike the other objects which are mostly housed in the Cairo Museum. The tomb is unique because it is the only royal burial in the Valley of the Kings that was found almost completely intact.
He died an early death from unknown causes in 1325 BC; he was about 18 years old. There are theories on why his tomb was over looked by robbers. Most believe his death came suddenly and his place of burial may have been designed for a non royal owner, perhaps his mentor, Aye. The location may not have been known to many people and there were guards in the area for many years after he died. The entrance was also covered by mud and gravel from storms over the centuries that served to protect it in later years.
The discovery was made in 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter and financed by Lord Carnarvon. The contents of the tomb provide much general information about Egypt from the time of King Tut but there are still many mysteries including the details of his life and family.
The golden mask that covered his face inside the coffin is probably the most recognized single piece from the collection. Its picture was featured as front page news around the world. Made mostly of gold and weighing 24 pounds it had inlays of colored glass, quartz turquoise and other semiprecious stones arranged in artistic patterns to achieve a dramatic effect.
Although most jewelry was stolen, there were more than140 items of jewelry were found with his mummy. Each piece is a beautiful work of art. Other large objects found in the tomb include the Chair of Sitamun made of elaborately carved wood covered with gold and silver and the Upper Portion of a Statue of Amenhotep IV. There were few decorations in the tomb itself but there were carved and painted panels of great beauty. The purposed for many of the piece was to keep him company in the afterlife and to help him achieve immortality.

Why does my Circle Y Saddle only have 9 serial numbers?
I am trying to sell my Circly Y saddle. I know that it is at least 15-17 years old, probably older. Online, it is said that prior to 2004, there should be 10 serial numbers on a silver plate under the jock seat. I looked at mine and there were only 9 and no plate. It lookes like the numbers were carved into the leather-- and there is a screw inside the circle, meaning that it looks like there never was a plate.
I need to find out what year and make my saddle is! Help!
It is dark brown/cherry looking, tons of silver.......
The serial number is #211509882....all in a leather circle that says something about how the saddle should be used for equitation purposes??
you got me thinking, I went and looked at a old CY we have, and it only has 9 numbers too. And I know its from the early 90's, late 80's We got it used in 92
