This little funerary stela is probably often missed, passed even by me who has spent so much time in these galleries. While the actual images on it aren't anything to write home about, the translation of the glyphs is beautiful. How the owner of the stela lived his life to the fullest.
I love birds in Ancient Egypt! They are so life-like and beautiful.
I can't wait to get this new book 'Between Heaven and Earth: Birds in Ancient Egypt'
More birds. A Horus falcon
Tiny cobra detail. Isn't he cute?
A bunny glyph. So much detail on a single glyph!
This little garden box was found in a tomb in Egypt and the large photo behind it shows the actual tomb it was found in it. When it was found.
Huge decorative panels from a wall, surrounding the walls of a tomb.
Two cute little pots!
Especially the dolphin one.
I think Hatshepsut is so beautiful.
A connection between Ancient Egypt and the Ancient Greek world (Crete)
Little deer.
Basically a practice pad for artists. And a beautiful, realistic bird
Egyptian artist palette with some pigments.
Cartoonish looking drawing (this was in new-ish room)
Another bird, Horus falcon. Um, interesting face.
Odd and unique dwarf figurine. Egyptian royalty (which is a lot of the stuff that we have) was often depicted as perfect. This is certainly an oddity.
Bull scene.
Another connection with Ancient Greece/Crete?
Bird-faced crocodile. He's pretty cute.
Pretty blue pot.
