Description: | Wooden ba bird with metal stick legs and solar disc. Stylistically this type seems to come from Meroe. The sun disc may imply that the Meroites believed that their dead were associated with the sun god. The base of the item is 41mm long and the height of the artefact is 76mm. There are traces of gesso and paint, particularly on the wings. | 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 |
