Bakery model

 

MODEL: BAKERY (MODEL)

This model of wood, which was found during the excavations of A. Gayet at Antinoopolis, depicts a standing man, a woman sitting before a chopping-block and a loaf which is found on the floor. It was probably part of a baking scene. The piece, which carries traces of stucco and paint, dates from the Middle Kingdom.
