The Global Egyptian Museum

This seal was carved in an Upper Egyptian calcareous ceramic sherd, which is yellowish-white in colour. It is oblong in shape and has a groove fashioned out at the narrowest extremity to allow its suspension. The rectangular base is engraved with a geometrical pattern resembling a grid.  One of the surfaces was engraved with a diagonal line and polished before any kind of work was undertaken, possibly the mark of the owner (?).

Ce sceau a été taillé dans un tesson de céramique calcaire de Haute &Eacute;gypte, de couleur blanc jaunâtre. Il est de forme oblongue. Une gorge a été façonnée au sommet de l'extrémité la plus étroite pour en permettre la suspension. La base rectangulaire est gravée d'un motif géométrique en grille. Une des faces avait été entaillée d'une ligne diagonale et frottée avant tout travail, peut-être une marque de propriété (?).
