Description: | Wooden headrest made in three pieces; circular raised base; short shaft; and the continuation of the shaft with the curve. The base has the beginnings of the shaft rising from the centre. A curious feature are two small circular holes at one end of the base which have been filled up with circular pieces of wood, which usually serve as nails, but here serve no apparent purpose. A large mortise appears in the centre of the base, into which a similarly long tenon of rectangular shap was driven. A piece of cord and some material can be seen around the tenon - perhaps to make the fit more secure. A tenon proceeds from the top of the shaft into the curved section - also with traces of material. Very damaged, especially raised portion of base. | 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
