Description: | Copper alloy razor, handle missing. 124mm long. A more complete example can be seen in the Petrie Museum (http://www.digitalegypt.ucl.ac.uk/cosmetic/archive/uc40538.jpg) It is believed that the cutting edge of these razors is the curved end, though exactly how they were used has not been established. They were particularly popular from the New Kingdom. Part of the MacGregor collection purchased by Wellcome in 1922. See Brovarski et. al. 1982 'Egypt's Golden Age.
