Description: | Cartonnage fragment showing a double-winged animal wearing a solar disc. The animal bears the deceased on its tail. In front of it is an offerring table. The animal perhaps represents the ram headed-sun-god and/or one of the winds. A similar animal is shown on Soter's coffin (see Christina Riggs 2005, 'The Beautiful Burial in Roman Egypt. Art, Identity, and Funerary Religion' Oxford University Press, fig. 87). Graeco-Roman Period. See W870 which shows a similar winged animal. | 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 |
