The Global Egyptian Museum

Very beautiful example of a seal impression applied on to a small bolt which was used to close a wooden trunk, perhaps dispatched from Egypt or another Egyptian establishment in Low Nubie. It is that belonging to "the follower of the portal, Neni", followed by an ephith "reborn". This character, of an average rank with ill-defined functions, occupied a military or legal role subordiante to the court or to the guard. The title and name are surrounded by a spiral. This document is a testimony to the relations developed with the metropolis.

Très bel exemple d'empreinte de sceau appliquée sur un petit verrou qui devait fermer un coffre de bois, peut-être expédié d'Égypte ou d'un autre établissement égyptien de Basse Nubie. C'est celle d'un "ainé du portique Neni", suivi d'une éphithète "renaissant". Ce personnage, d'un rang moyen, aux fonctions mal définies, assurait un rôle militaire ou judiciaire dépendant du tribunal ou de la garde. Le titre et le nom sont entourés d'une spirale. Ce document est une témoignage des relations développées avec la métropole.
