Description: | Limestone fertility figurine in form of a naked woman lying on a couch with a child at the feet. There is red painting around the top and down the left hand side - this consists of two parallel lines divided vertically into squares. There are also traces of painting on the woman - bands on the arms and feet to indicate jewellery, and similar on the child. There are faint traces of the lower edge of a pillow on which the figure is lying. The woman's right arm is lying straight down her side, and the left arm is crossed across the chest just above the navel. The child stands with both hands parallel down its side; the feet are not visible. Stone well-preserved, but the carving is rather crude, especially the faces of both figures. The paint has faded in many places. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ | Rights holder: | University College London | Subjects: | Egyptology | Temporal: | name=Dynasty 26; start=-664; end=-525 | Source: | UCL Museums | Identifier: | http://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums/objects/LDU... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
