Excavated at the site of Sedment by The Egypt Exploration Society, the detail is an ancient feature not a modern restoration. Now British Museum🦷👀

On #StatueSunday , I'm pondering parallels between this 4000 year old wooden offering bearer from Bersha The Metropolitan Museum of Art & Edward Poynter's 1866 painting 'Offerings to Isis' NewportMuseum.

This is a rare case in Pharaonic sculpture for women to be shown with their left leg advanced.

HistoryExtra Dr Campbell Price Thank you! And if people enjoy our discussion, they can find our children’s book in all good bookshops waterstones.com/book/totally-c…

Listen to Greg Jenner and I discuss some interpretations of mummification - what was it for? Who could afford it? Why are we so fascinated by it?
