Description: | Mud figurine, in a range of variously shaped mud items identified by Petrie as toys made by children, but in at least this instance probably a fertility figurine, to judge from parallels found in sites far from habitation (notably Gebel Zeit mine shrine on Red Sea): female figure reduced to rough block flaring out at lower end, and more narrowly at neck, head small oval; with thread and mud hair, grains of corn inserted for eyes and vulva; broken and mended. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ | Rights holder: | University College London | Subjects: | Egyptology | Temporal: | name=late Middle Kingdom; start=-1850; end=-1700 | Source: | UCL Museums | Identifier: | http://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums/objects/LDU... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
