To the left the bowl is inscribed with an inverted 'ka' sign (a Ka sign is in the form of two raised hands) and a scorpion. A ka sign is typically associated with the Ka spirit, which best compared to the concept of the soul of a person. This type of inscribed bowl was possibly associated with a festival. The centre is simply chiselled out. This type of stone 'calcite' is sometimes called alabaster.E.24.18981accession numberE.24.189849565priref49565oldadmincategorySurihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/49565https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/49565referenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam Museumreferenceagent-159676adlib-agent-159676d0928be2-379b-3692-b570-191c44d7cb16Egyptian Research Account189818981898givenreferenceterm-111983adlib-term-1119830767afec-1255-301c-8875-1d0778e64143Hierakonpolis Egypt300030003000about-30002500125002500about-2500referenceterm-12416adlib-term-12416e4f6cb70-8b0a-32b1-8487-228e5f233581Predynasticreferenceterm-112333adlib-term-112333094c6c36-1190-387c-9be9-b3c6b2172ed8Early Dynastic Periodreferenceterm-31004adlib-term-310046c2d27df-ca94-3c35-91ba-100612f1a9a0calciteDiametercm11Heightcm7.6referencemedia-18796adlib-media-187961304e18f-dea2-3ced-a2d0-3f1f1c645b21jpegant/ant1/E_24_1898_281_29.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016162418154631imagejpegant/ant1/mid_E_24_1898_281_29.jpg1heightpixels362widthpixels50016162418154631imagejpegant/ant1/E_24_1898_281_29.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016162418154631imagejpegant/ant1/preview_E_24_1898_281_29.jpg1heightpixels181widthpixels25016162418154631image0media
