Description: | Red pottery fertility figurine in the form of a naked woman, disproportionately small, lying on a bed with a base board. The bed appears to slope downwards, and the head is on a pillow. There is evidence of a child at the feet. Figure in frontal post. Of one piece of pottery. The description of Petrie's No.196 in "Funeral Furniture" tallies with this piece - a "figure, on couch, with block foot each end, rough. 4.4 long" - the measurement agrees, but there is the question of the block foot - does this mean a block at each end of the bed, as opposed to four feet? Very crudely cut. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ | Rights holder: | University College London | Subjects: | Egyptology | Temporal: | name=Dynasty 19; start=-1295; end=-1186 | Source: | UCL Museums | Identifier: | http://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums/objects/LDU... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
