Scope and Content |
Card base with eleven illustrations attached, the top four labelled with a pasted a, and the rest with pasted b-h. The number 98 is pasted in the lower left corner. Two of the items labelled a (1936/01/03/20/01, 03) and each of the rest of the items have later annotation in biro beside them, giving bibliographic references. The original description in the catalogue reads: "a. figures of baby boys these may be Egyptian and certainly show Egyptian influence: the standing type and the markedly dolicocephalic heads approach some Middle-Kingdom prototypes: (Evans, P.M. III, 446). b. Plaque with scattered lilies in intaglio. c. Plaque with double axe, tassels and wreath, carved in relief. Evans (P.M. I, 433, n.) says that the plaque probably of M.M. IIIb date has been cut down and re-used in L.M. I. d. Plaque with bird perching on rocks, a part of some larger object. f. The back of a comb, with a design of wreathed lizards or dragons. e and g. Probably pieces for inlaying. h. Carved ends of what may have been a sceptre." |
