two neckñaces plaquettes

The two necklace plaquettes, of which the provenance is not known, show an openwork decoration figuring spirals. The motif is originally from the island of Crete, but the production is surely egyptian. The pieces, which are provided with a suspension ring, date from the New Kingdom.

Cloth

 

This cloth, which was part of the É. de Meester de Ravestein collection, bears the mark of the temple of Mentuhotep II. A detailed examination has shown that the fringed selvage, a characteristic which one finds on several cloths of the same category (compare E.6855), was not only decorative but also essentially technological.
