Description: | Mud sealing, underside with imprint of papyrus paper and part of papyrus and/or other organic material adhering, upper surface with deep-ridged impression from stamp-seal inscribed in hieroglyphs at left end with sa-sign ('protection') beside cartouche Seheribra, and in right half with title and name 'treasurer Psamtek'; Seheribra is throne-name of a little-known king Padibast apparently reigning over all or part of Egypt during the period of Achaemenid Persian rule (525-404 and 404-343 BC). According to Petrie it was found as the sealing of a demotic papyrus of late Dynasty 26 or Achaemenid Period, with one other (Meydum and Memphis III, 43); there is some confusion over whether it was found in Memphis (implied by Historical Studies pl.XX title of plate) or Meydum (as stated Meydum and Memphis pl.XXXVII and implied perhaps by the preservation of the papyrus paper). Cracked, fragile. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ | Rights holder: | University College London | Subjects: | Egyptology | Temporal: | name=Dynasty 27; start=-525; end=-404 | Source: | UCL Museums | Identifier: | http://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums/objects/LDU... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
