Description: | Atef crown made of wood. This has traces of black paint on one side. It perhaps belonged to a wooden statue such as a Ptah-Sokar-osiris figure. The atef crown is essentially the white crown flanked by two feathers. It may also, as in the case, be surmounted upon rams' horns. The horns are of the curled type from a breed of ram which seems to have been extinct in Egypt after the Middle Kingdom. The crown is particularly asociated with Osiris but may be worn by other gods. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Rights holder: | University of Swansea, Egypt Centre | Subjects: | [none] | Source: | Egypt Centre | Identifier: | http://www.egyptcentre.org.uk/index.asp?... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
