Description: | Ba bird, nose damaged. The item is wood covered with a black layer. The base is 50mm long and the artefact 80mm high. There is a dowel in the base. 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 |
