Description: | Clay sealing, one specimen labelled 133 (? by Petrie), and tied with linen strip; several other versions; the published drawing does not reproduce shape, or border, adequately; impression from stamp-seal inscribed with symmetrical motif of s-spiral in oval between elaborate wadj-signs, under incompletely preserved motif, perhaps originally symmetrically placed Red Crown. 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=Dynasty 12; start=-1985; end=-1795 | Source: | UCL Museums | Identifier: | http://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums/objects/LDU... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
