Description

Small trapezium-shaped pendant cut from a large Nile shell. Two holes were pierced very close to one another in the uppermost section. A similar object was found in the tomb of the end of the Kerma period at Sai, which suggests a dating to this period. This object belonged to a child of an isolated tomb of Mirgissa/Iken.
