Description: | Headrest in hard white shelly limestone. In three separate pieces; rectangular base; shaft; and abacus and curve in one. As there are no tenons for attachement, the piece seems to be merely a funerary object. On the base slab is a slightly raised circular base to the shaft. The shaft has twelve flutings, and a band equal to four flutings; it was thus divided by repeated halving. Chipping on all three pieces. | 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 |
