Title: Trial-piece [Go to resource]
Description: Limestone trial-piece, which an artist used to practice carving sculpture in relief. On one side, the artist carved the head of a man in a long wig, facing right; a hole is gouged out where the man's eye should be. On the other side, the artist carved the upper part of an owl, with incised detail. The owl is a hieroglyph for the sound 'm'.
