| From a tomb in Gurneh,
Egypt, these cone-shaped baked clay objects are typical of
cones found in tombs and sometimes placed above the doorway
of tombs with the stamped inscription facing outward. The hieroglyphics
on the ends name Djehuty-Nefer, in the priesthood of Amun,
of the New Kingdom Period. Whether cones like these served
as identification of the tomb’s occupants, ornamentation,
protective amulets, or had other symbolic purpose is still a
mystery. |
