CLOTH/SHROUD

This piece of painted material, which dates from the Graeco-Roman Period, depicts two divinities in the form of a serpent. They are without any doubt Agathos Daimon, the good genie protector of the town of Alexandria, and Isis-Uraeus. They are respectively wearing pshent head-dresses, the pharaonic double crown of Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt, and a crown composed of a solar disk and cow's horns. The bodies are marked with black and reddish colours. The two divine serpents, creations of religious syncretism of the Graeco-Roman Period, often decorate stelae, coins and the walls of tombs.

SPINDLE WHORL

SPINDLE WHORL

WOOD

This wooden spindle was found, together with three similar objects, in the tomb of the 'embroideress' at Antinoopolis during the excavations led by A. Gayet. The instrument served to spin linen or wool. The bottom of the disk has been flattened, while the top shows a curve. It is possible that the disk once held a hook which guided the thread.

Wooden coffin with the mummy of Ankhe

Wooden coffin with the mummy of Ankhef
From Asyut, Egypt
12th Dynasty, around 1900 BC

Ankhef, an official at Asyut, was a middle-aged man who was at least 45 when he died. He suffered from osteoarthritis in his spine and left hip, but seems to have been otherwise generally healthy. The headrest which was placed close to his head was probably one of his personal possessions. His coffin is decora...ted with funerary texts to help him to enter the Afterlife.
Once a mummified body had been bandaged, it was wrapped in a shroud, or funerary cloth. A mask covering the head and shoulders was the last element to be added. This was made of cartonnage, moulded linen stiffened with plaster. The mask represented the face of the deceased, but was not really a portrait. The only real examples of portraits on mummies in ancient Egypt are the Fayum mummy portraits of the Roman Period, such as that of Artemidorus, which is in The British Museum.

The mask of Ankhef was made to represent the deceased as he would appear in the Afterlife, with the golden skin of a divine being. Masks continued to be used in Egyptian burials for about 2500 years. Some were gilded and those of royalty, such as that of Tutankhamun, were made entirely of gold and inlaid with semi-precious stones.

This fragment in linen cloth

This fragment in linen cloth, which dates from the Roman Period, is the upper part of a large shroud representing the god Osiris mummiform. The oval face has two black eyes elongated by a cosmetic line and a large nose. On the cheeks two bandages descend which serve to fix the false beard. The body is wrapped in an envelope of netting in dark red and decorated black and blue. The god, who is dressed in the atef-crown, wears a wesekh-collar and a pectoral in the form of a naos. The face of Osiris is framed by two kneeling mourners; they are probably a representation of Isis and Nephthys. The shroud is also decorated with djed-pillars and small papyrus columns. This type of shroud, of which the iconography is certainly of pharaonic tradition, is rather rare.
