So-called Baubo figures are well known from all parts of the ancient world. They were popular from the 4th century B.C. onwards and have been found in sanctuaries as well as in cemeteries and settlements. They usually date from the Roman Period in Egyptian history. The figures are interpreted as apotropaic fertility symbols. This statuette depicts a nude, squatting woman with her legs spread apart. Her hands are on her genitals.

Bracelets from the Tomb of King Djer

Four Bracelets from the Tomb of King Djer

Abydos.

These four bracelets were discovered at Abydos in the tomb of King Djer of the First Dynasty. They were fastened onto a linen-wrapped forearm of a woman, who might have been King Djer's queen or a member of the royal family.

The bracelets were held in place by linen bandages, which made it possible to recover them in their original order of stringing.

Three of the bracelets are composed of various types of beads: gold, turquoise, lapis lazuli, and amethyst.

The fourth one consists of 27 plaques representing the palace facade topped by the falcon god Horus.

The bracelets are of exquisite workmanship, demonstrating the skill of the ancient artists in this early period of Egyptian

From Abydos.
