Description: | Painted wood coffin fragment, long segment from edge of arm or leg area of an anthropoid lid to judge from curvature of upper surface, bearing depiction of standing mummiform bearded figures on four registers, two on each, facing right, with long cloth hanging from front of waist of each, no attributes distinguishing between them. Two pairs of dowel holes, the top one with its peg still in place, and two separate dowle holes for affixing to other segments. Modern iron nail through centre of lower area, and hole from similar nail at top, indicating post-excavation mounting (for display?). From a group of miscellaneous cemetery finds originally the share of Jesse Haworth from the 1888 excavations of Flinders Petrie at Hawara, initially presented by Haworth to the Victoria and Albert Museum, and transferred to the Petrie Museum in 2004. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ | Rights holder: | University College London | Subjects: | Egyptology | Temporal: | name=Dynasty 26; start=-664; end=-525 | Source: | UCL Museums | Identifier: | http://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums/objects/LDU... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
