Description: | Oval, reddish-brown baked pottery mould. Rounded and smoothed on underside; main surface is flattened, with a roughly central impression in the form of Bes. The figure of Bes is in profile, facing left, and playing a tambourine/drum which he holds up in the front of his face. There is considerable detail within the recess: Bes's limbs, tail and head. A groove in the surface of the mould runs horizontally from Bes's stomach, turning at a right angle to run to the upper edge of the mould. The mould would have been used to manufacture faience amulets/pendants; the groove would have facilitated the removal of the moulded faience (or other?) '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 |
