Description: | Scaraboid, steatite, grey, back carved in low relief as figure of man kneeling on footstool with one arm holding a small vertical object to right, bowl-like object on head, underside inscribed in hieroglyphs with throne-name of Thutmose I (Aakheperkara) behind rearing human-headed lion (not in style of Egyptian sphinx) on neb-hieroglyph. The cutting of the underside seems ancient, but back may be recut in modern times, perhaps from a damaged scarab-back to improve appearance for sale? | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ | Rights holder: | University College London | Subjects: | Egyptology | Temporal: | name=Thutmes I; start=-1504; end=-1492 | Source: | UCL Museums | Identifier: | http://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums/objects/LDU... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
