Fragment of magical knife

Fragment of magical knife

Magical knives are generally made of ivory, but one also knows of several fragments in faience. This fragment, which was part of the MacGregor collection, depicts a frog, a vulture with a knife and a crouching person with the head of a lion and holding a knife in hand. The piece is distinguished by an intense blue colour.
