Description: | Clay sealing, four specimens, one nearly complete, each bearing impression from stamp-seal inscribed with symmetrical hieroglyphic motif of triple papyrus stem on double neb-sign, lower middle space filled by double v-line; Petrie recorded finding 34 sealings with this motif. From the 1889 Petrie excavations at the town-site near al-Lahun ('Kahun'): no specific provenance for the individual sealings, but in publication Illahun, Kahun, Gurob, p.14 Petrie states "nearly all of these sealings were picked up in two or three rooms of the town", identified further by a note at the front of Petrie Notebook 49 records "seals from end but 2 of [Rows] B and C facing the road and from top of D facing to C". | 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 |
