| Description |
Clay mould for statuette os a seating
figure with falcon Horus, dating to
the period of the 26th dynasty.
Moulds are exceedingly rare, as they
can be found only in the original
ancient workshops, were they would
have been used to make the high
number of statuettes needed for cult
purposes, or to fill the space around
a sarcophagus in the burial chamber.
Egyptian moulds for the production
feature in some of the most
important collection of Egyptian
antiquities in the world, including the
Museum of Cairo and the Egyptian
Museum of Turin. A positive is
provided along with the purchase of
a mould.
