Description: | Mould of fired Nile silt, a rounded square in shape; reddish-brown, but almost entirely blackened (accident of firing process (?) , with tiny white inclusions; surface is rough; main surface is flattened with a roughly central detailed recess in the form of Bes, facing left holding a drum/tambourine up in front of his face. A groove runs from a central point on the base of the figure to the lower edge. Mould for the manufacture of faience amulets/pendants. Groove is probably the impression of a cord to assist the removal of the 'master'. Traces of white deposit in the recessed figure. | 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 |
