Description: | Roughly oval, brown-grey, fired clay mould. Design impressed into flattened upper surface, in roughly central position. Thick white residue of faience body material in recess indicates use, but make the design unclear; it is likely to be in the form of Bes, standing, facing left, holding a tambourine up in front of face. For the manufacture of faience amulet(s)/pendant(s). A groove curves from the edge of the recess (Bes's front leg) to the edge of the mould; possibly the impression left by a cord (probably 2-spun S-plied flax cord) used to remove the 'master'. | 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 |
