Description: | One of what whould have originally been a pair of wooden uraei attached to a wooden bar. The bar has a semi-circular section; it is flat on the front surface on which the uraeus is pegged. Three circular pegs attach the surviving uraeus to the bar; the pegs are inserted through the disc on the head of the cobra, slightly above the centre of the disc. Only the front of the head of the cobra survives. Yellow paint survives on disc; and blue on the head of the cobra with yellow and red on the neck. Alongside, a peg and a small portion of adhering wood indicate the original presence of a second uraeus. Both the site report (COA pt. 2, p70) and the Wellcome catalogue describe a pair of uraei. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ | Rights holder: | University College London | Subjects: | Egyptology | Temporal: | name=Dynasty 18; start=-1550; end=-1295 | Source: | UCL Museums | Identifier: | http://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums/objects/LDU... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
