Description: | Roughly circular, brown-grey, fired clay mould; damage to upper surface; white inclusions. Design impressed into flattened upper surface, in roughly central position. Recessed design is in the form of an oval scarab. Residue of white faience body material in recess (and on surface of mould?) indicates use. There is evidence for a deep groove extending from the top of the recess to the top edge of the mould and continuing in a straight line from the bottom of the recess to the bottom edge of the mould (the impression made by a wire (?) through the scarab during firing to produce a pierced hole), but there is damage to both these areas of the mould. For the manufacture of faience scarab(s). Finger/thumb prints on surface. | 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 |
