Description
The head of a cobra, in green faience. The tangs would have helped to secure the head to a body in another material. At el-`Amarna stone cobra heads form friezes over shrines, and it is possible that this cobra also belonged to a series protecting a shrine of various materials. It was found at Memphis, and dated by the excavator to the 19th Dynasty, a period from which such heads are rare.

De kop van een cobra in groene faience. De tanden dienden om de kop aan een lichaam uit ander materiaal te bevestigen. In El-`Amarna vormden stenen cobrakoppen friezen boven schrijnen, en het is mogelijk dat deze cobra ook tot een reeks behoort die een schrijn van diverse materialen beschermde. Het is gevonden in Memphis, en door de opgraver gedateerd in de 19e dynastie, een periode waarin dit soort koppen zeldzaam is.
Tête de cobra en faïence verte. Les tenons devaient servir à fixer la tête sur un objet fabriqué dans un matériau différent. A Amarna, des têtes de cobra en pierre formaient des frises sur des chapelles. Ce cobra appartenait peut-être à l'une de ces frises de serpents chargés de protéger une chapelle. Les matériaux utilisés pouvaient être différents. Cette tête a été découverte à Memphis et datée, par l'archéologue, de la XIXème Dynastie. De telles pièces datées de cette époque sont rares.
Kopf einer Kobra aus grüner Fayence. Die Zapfen dienten der Befestigung an einem Körper aus einem anderen Material. In el-' Amarna bildeten steinerne Kobraköpfe Friese an Schreinen, und es ist denkbar, daß diese Kobra ebenfalls zu einer Reihe gehörte, die einen aus unerschiedlichen Materialien gefertigten Schrein beschützte. Sie stammt aus Memphis und wurde vom Ausgräber in die 19. Dynastie datiert, eine Zeit, in der solche Köpfe selten sind.
Testa di un cobra, in faience verde. I codoli servivano per assicurare la testa ad il corpo di altro materiale. Ad El-`Amarna cobra di pietra formano i fregi situati sopra i templi, ed è possibile che anche questo cobra appartenesse ad una serie composta di vari metalli posta a protezione del tempio. L'oggetto è stato trovato a Menfi e datato dall'archeologo alla XIX Dinastia, in periodo in cui tali teste sono rare.
Cabeça de uma cobra em faiança verde. Os espigões teriam ajudado a segurar a cabeça ao corpo, em outro material. Em El-`Amarna, cabeças de cobra em pedra adornam frisos, e é possível que esta pertencesse a uma série destas, para proteger uma capela em vários outros materiais. Foi encontrada em Mênfis, e datada da XIX dinastia pelo arqueólogo, período em que estas cabeças são raras.

Fue encontrada en Memphis y datada por sus descubridores en la Dinastía XIX, un período en el que estas cabezas eran poco habituales.
