Description: | Leg of furniture with bull's hoof. Middle Kingdom. See Needler, W. 'Predynastic and Archaic Egypt In The Brooklyn Museum' p. 302 for information on earlier bull's leg furniture. Bovine legs are often found in Early Dynastic royal graves. It has been suggested that this is because of the association of the king with the bull. They were later copied by the nobility. However, Early Dynastic legs are usually much chunkier than later ones. This item was sold in the Rustafjaell sale of 1906. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Rights holder: | University of Swansea, Egypt Centre | Subjects: | [none] | Temporal: | Middle Kingdom | Source: | Egypt Centre | Identifier: | http://www.egyptcentre.org.uk/index.asp?... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
