Senenu Grinding Grain
Senenu Grinding Grain
The
royal scribe Senenu appears here bent over a large grinding stone.
This unusual sculpture seems to be an elaborate version of a shabti,
a funerary figurine placed in the tomb to work in place of the
deceased in the hereafter. The hieroglyphic text included Senenu's
claim to a blessed afterlife by virtue of his proper behavior toward
the king and gods.
DATES ca. 1352-1336 B.C.E. or ca. 1322-1319 B.C.E. or ca. 1319-1292 B.C.E.

Model of a Cow
Model of a Cow
The wooden model of a standing cow is carved from a single piece of wood. A peg at the bottom of each hoof was intended to attach the figure to a rectangular base. The body is painted to imitate the natural skin of the animal.
Individual models of cows are not very common in ancient Egyptian art, so this cow may have been part of a butchery or cattle-counting scene.
The deceased possibly hoped to use it in the hereafter as an offering.
