Description

Square wooden base to house a funerary model figure, with two holes drilled through the base next to each other. Possible signs of yellow pigment on top and underside of base. This is one of a number of objects that have previously been catalogued under a single entry: 'E.172.1903'. The collection of items all appear to derive from funerary models, and are each elements found within individual scenes, but they are not from the same model, and possibly do not derive from a single site.
