mummy

The mummy and coffin of Nes-shu-tefnut, found in situ by Professor John Garstang during his excavations at Nag' el-Hasaya, presented to the museum in 1905.
The mummy of Nes-shu-tefnut, prophet of Khons, prophet of Horus, the son of Iyhor and Teni was found in situ at his tomb at Nag' el-Hasaya, along with his funerary equipment. The person was aged between approximately 15-17 years old at death and seems to have been in a state of decomposition when the embalmers started thei...r task. The body appears badly discoloured and fragmented.
According to the X-rays resinous matter is present in the body cavities, the majority of ribs having been detached. The arms lay across the chest, a ring clearly visible on the left hand. The hips show evidence of post-mortem fracture, the femora have been pulled down about 5 inches on both sides, the femoral heads remaining in their sockets. The feet have both been disarticulated at the ankle and placed one on top of the other with heels facing left. For some reason the embalmers have lengthened the body by breaking the hips and pulling the legs down, and then shortened it again by removing and re-positioning the feet.

Sculptor's Model of Male Body Wearing Long Skirt


Sculptor's Model of Male Body Wearing Long Skirt
Whom this statuette depicts is a mystery because it has no parallels. The dot-in-lozenge pattern of the figure's garment is known from other Egyptian contexts spanning the New Kingdom (Dynasties XVIII–XX, circa 1539–1070 B.C.) and the seventh century of the modern era, but it is not attested on any other garment of this type. The heavy, sensuous proportions of the body suggest a date in either Dynasty XXX or the Ptolemaic Perio...d.

Fragment from the tomb of Diesehebsed

Fragment from the tomb of Diesehebsed
This block came from the now lost tomb or tomb chapel of a woman named Diesehebsed, who is shown to the left. She bore the title Singer in the Interior of the Temple of Amun, indicating that she was part of a divine chorus that entertained the god during offering rituals. Traces of hieroglyphs in the cartouche before the woman to the right identify her as the God's Wife Amunirdis II. Another scene of the two women together is known from t...he Karnak Temple, suggesting that Diesehebsed was a trusted administrator of the God's Wife, who during this period was the virtual ruler of Thebes. Diesehebsed was from one of the most prominent families of Thebes. She was the daughter of Nesptah, who was a Priest of Amun and the Scribe of the Offering Table, indicating that both father and daughter worked for the administration of Amun at Thebes. Diesehebsed was also the sister of Mentuemhat the mayor of Thebes

Wrestlers' Ostracon

Wrestlers' Ostracon
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.

Nes-Peka-Shuti relief:

Nes-Peka-Shuti relief: Fragmentary Slab with Figure of Female
Tomb reliefs magically repeated the rituals required to transport the deceased to the afterlife and maintain him or her once there. The wealthier the individual, the more elaborate the decoration of the tomb. Nespeqashuty was a vizier, the highest ranking government official.
The decoration of Nespeqashuty’s tomb was never completed, allowing a rare glimpse into the artist’s working process. The three steps of rel...ief carving are clearly visible here. First, each scene was drawn in color with attention paid to every detail. Next, the outline of each figure was carved and the background cut away. Finally, another carving of the figures softened the contour lines and sculpted the internal details.
The graffiti on the relief were written in both Demotic and Coptic, the two latest stages of the Egyptian language, as well as in Greek, during a thousand-year period after the tomb was prepared for Nespeqashuty. Writing graffiti in the tomb was a pious act, not vandalism.

Fragmentary Slab, "Riverside Scene"

 Part of this boat moored along the Nile appears in the lower left corner of this relief. Next to the boat a farmer, carrying two large water jars suspended from a pole, climbs the steep riverbank. His goal is the irrigated field, arranged in square plots, at the far right. In the scene at the very top, a shipbuilder smoothes a wooden plank.

"Mother-and-child" bottles were made throughout the Eighteenth Dynasty. Their function is far from certain. One possible explanation is that they contained the milk of mothers who had recently delivered a male child. Medical texts frequently mention such milk as an effective remedy for a variety of ailments.

    P Berlin 10131. A frame of six fragments that are mounted with on gelatin with a similar technique to that used by Hugo Ibscher on the Ramesseum Papyri. They contain administrative entries with a year date and check marks, and have ruled guide-lines. From their mounting, they might have belonged to the Ramesseum group, although there is apparently no archival evidence to confirm or disprove this possibility, and no details of provenance are recorded.
