Description: | Cartouche in terracotta showing the prenomen of Rameses II (1279-1213 BC). Purchased by Wellcome at auction in 1934. This item is unlikley to be a genuine ancient artefact. Cyril Aldred in Journal of Egyptian Archaeology 1957 page 113 cites examples of similar artefacts bearing the cartouch of Ramesses III being made in Egypt in the late 1800s. These objects are sometimes falsely believed to be the bases of funerary cones. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Rights holder: | University of Swansea, Egypt Centre | Subjects: | [none] | Temporal: | 1279 B.C.-1213 B.C.
