Geschiedenis van het voorwerp

Purchased from Professor John Garstang in 1949 as part of a mixed collection of Egyptian, Hittite and Meroitic antiquities, upon his move from the Liverpool area to London.
  Garstang was born in Blackburn on 5th May 1876, his first work in Egypt was in 1889 with Sir W.M.F.Petrie at Abydos, during which he discovered the mastaba of Djoser at Beit Khallaf. In 1900-1901 Garstang worked at El-Arabah, the Middle Kingdom cemetery within the Abydos necropolis, and also at Mahasna, Reqaqneh and Beit Khallaf. In 1902 Garstang was appointed Reader in Egyptian Archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology, Liverpool University, and from then until 1904 he excavated the tombs of the provincial goverors of  the 11th and 12th Dynasties at Beni Hasan. In 1905 Garstang excavated 188 graves at Hierakonpolis but from 1906-1909 he concentrated his efforts at Abydos. During 1907 he secured a permit to excavate the Hittite capital at Boghazkoy (ancient Hatussas), but found on his arrival at Constantinople that the permit had been transferred to Hugo Winckler at the request of the German emperor. Garstang excavated at Meroe, in the modern Sudan,
from 1909 until 1914, abandoning it on the at the outbreak of the First World War.

Algemeen commentaar


Material: 
 Breccia is composed of angular fragments of one or more kinds of rock, embedded in a matrix of another material. The red and white variety consists of white fragments in a red surround and is found in abundance on the West Bank particularly near Thebes, Asyut and Minya. This stone was used in Pre-dynastic and early dynastic times chiefly for vases and other vessels.
