ostraca

UC33260King making offering to Min-AmunPossibly from Deir el-Medina or Koptos
19th dynasty of later date - possibly Ptolemaic
Limestone
Red pigment
Drawing of a king making an offering of two pots to
Min-Amun. The king wears the red crown of Lower Egypt
and a short skirt with pleats and a central panel.
Min-Amun stands on the right on a podium with a sloping
front. He is represented in mummiform. His figure is
faint, while the figure of the king and the podium
underneath Min-Amun's feet are coloured in. Between the
two figures there is an offering table with a cup and
possibly two bull's heads on it.
There are two vertical columns of hieroglyphic inscriptions
at the top, reading Min-Amun, Mn. The horizontal line at
the bottom reads "htp-di-nsw Mn-Imn", meaning "The
offering which the king gives to Min-Amun".
The style of the drawing shows signs of Ptolemaic style.
It could originate from Koptos, where the local fertility
god Min was worshipped and where Flinders Petrie
excavated the temple of Min.
Height: 18.7 cm
Width: 16.8 cm

Two soldiers, perhaps Nubians, are shown grasping each other's necks in what is presumably a starting hold at the beginning of a match.
At the side of the sketch a long hieroglyphic inscription reads, "Behold, I will make you take a fall helpless, in front of the Pharaoh, may he live, be prosperous and healthy." It seems that the figures of the wrestlers were sketched on this ostracon and then corrected later in the final drawing.

The Egyptians drew on ostraka for a variety of reasons; for example, while planning work on tombs or as exercises. Some creations were simply the result of the craftsman's imagination. This ostrakon shows king Ramesses III wearing the red crown of Lower Egypt smiting with his weapon foreign enemies whom he holds by the hair. This drawing is probably a copy of a wall scene on one of the pylons of a ramesside temple. The scene is accompanied by two royal cartouches and a simple caption in hieroglyphs.
