Description: | Shoulder to rim sherd from a thick-walled pottery vessel, with solid lug at lower edge to right of two horizontal incised lines enclosing a line of incised hieroglyphs reading from right to left starting with the White and Red Crowns, as a writing of the title 'dual king' (nswt bity), followed by the name of the god Horus and the epithet 'tur of voice', and the top of the cobra-sign from the word 'says'; above the upper line, at left, are the two hieroglyphs for the kingly title 'good god' (netjer nefer) facing right. Probably the start of the inscription on the grant of Egypt to the king by the gods, as paralleled on a vessel discovered and published by Amelineau in his excavation of the First Dynasty royal necropolis at Abydos (Les Nouvelles Fouilles d'Abydos 1897-1898, Paris 1905, pl.35 figs.3, 7, 8, Le tombeau d'Osiris, p.12). | 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 |
