The Global Egyptian Museum

Very lovely oval-shaped bracelet, destined to be worn on a child's wrist. It is thick and perfectly polished. Remember that ivory was a material that Egypt imported from Nubia as the limit of the area populated with elephants was much farther north than it is today: approximately a hundred kilometres north of the confluence of the two Niles. Ivory objects are thus often found in Nubian burials, as corporal ornaments, grips for weapons and cosmetic equipment and implements.

Très joli bracelet de forme ovale, destiné à un poignet d'enfant. Il est épais et parfaitement poli. Rappelons que l'ivoire était un des matériaux expédié de Nubie en &Eacute;gypte, la limite de la zone peuplée d'éléphants étant bien plus au nord qu'actuellement, à une centaine de kilomètres au nord du confluent des deux Nils. Les objets en ivoire sont donc fréquents dans les sépultures nubiennes: ornements corporels, manches d'armes, objets de toilette.
