KV 46 contained the burials of Yuya and Tjuya, the parents of Queen Tiye, principal wife of Amenhotep III and mother of Akhenaten. Davis was allowed to keep a portion of the finds, which he later gave to the Museum including two sealed jars, a pair of sandals, and a group of shabti tools. These sandals are made of plaited grass and reeds, with the toe and side pieces of split papyrus.(Source: The Met Museum) -- source link
