Herd of donkeys in ivory










Herd of donkeys in ivory
This group of figurines in ivory, which was part of the von Bissing collection and then of the Lunsingh Scheuleer collection, is composed of a herd of seven donkeys. Of miniscule dimensions, they vary from three to four centimetres. The legs of the animals are badly damaged. The figurine depicting the donkey-driver of the herd doesn't exist anymore. It is possible that the objects come from a tomb of the Predynastic Period.
