Description: | Headrest in hard white limestone with shells. In three pieces: rectangular base; shaft; and abacus and curve in one. The parts were merely stuck together without any tenons, and the clumsy work shows that it was merely a funerary object. The shaft has twenty-three flutings, and a wide band, equal to six flutings, which was intended for an inscription but never utilized. Both the curve and the base have been broken into two pieces and mended. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ | Rights holder: | University College London | Subjects: | Egyptology | Temporal: | name=Dynasty 4; start=-2613; end=-2494 | Source: | UCL Museums | Identifier: | http://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums/objects/LDU... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
