DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: uraeus
object type: Carved wooden uraeus serpent, upright with sundisk on head, and a rounded tenon joint at base. A round hole is visible just above the serpent's head. The surface is exposed plain wood, however there is a general coverage of a white material, but this may not be pigment. The rounded tenon on the base, has been wrapped in re-used paper at some stage, and writing on the paper can be read. There is only a small amount of damage, with part of the sun disk (on the right side) missing. There is a strong stylistic similarity between this example and E.GA.2864a.1943 which has led to them being grouped together.
