Description: | Wooden ba bird red and black painted wood. The paint seems to be put straight on top of the wood, without gesso. Human head. The base measures 51mm long and the height of the artefact is 82mm. Examples of ba-bird statues appear in the New Kingdom but are much more common in the mid-late 1st millennium BC. Many have holes with broken dowel fragments in the base suggesting that they were attached to shrines, stela or coffins. | 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 |
