IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 61989 accession number: E.GA.291.1949 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Thursday 13 July 2023 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Cartonnage fragment showing the sky goddess Nut in the form of a winged female figure. She holds feathers in her hands and wears a sun disc on her head. Her skin is painted in yellow orpiment, the feathers Egyptian green, cinnabar red, Egyptian blue and light blue (a combination of Egyptian blue and white lead) and her dress is Egyptian green. The details are finished in black. On the proper right wing a mistake can be seen where green pigment was accidentally applied to an area of the red feathers before the error was corrected and red pigment was applied on top. Although this is a much later piece that would have overlain a mummy in the Ptolemaic Period (332 - 30 BC), many coffins from about 2000 BC onwards have inscriptions calling upon Nut to stretch herself over the person inside the coffin to provide protection. title: cartonnage LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Antiquities STABLE URL ---------- url: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/61989 CATEGORIES ------ category: funerary equipment DATING ------ creation date: 332 - 30 creation date earliest: 332 creation date latest: 30 culture: Ptolemaic Period# DIMENSIONS ---------- dimension: Height units: m value: 0.141 dimension: Thickness units: m value: 0.001 dimension: Width units: m value: 0.459 EXHIBITIONS HISTORY ------------------- title: Death on the Nile: Uncovering the Afterlife of Ancient Egypt CITATIONS -------- Death on the Nile: Uncovering the Afterlife of Ancient Egypt --- IMAGES surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/E_GA_291_1949_1_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg height: 404 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/mid_E_GA_291_1949_1_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg height: 197 pixels width: 499 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/E_GA_291_1949_1_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg height: 404 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/preview_E_GA_291_1949_1_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg height: 99 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/E_GA_291_1949_2_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg height: 456 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/mid_E_GA_291_1949_2_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg height: 223 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/E_GA_291_1949_2_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg height: 456 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/preview_E_GA_291_1949_2_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg height: 111 pixels width: 249 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/561/295/large_E_GA_291_1949_1_201506_jas244_mas.jpg height: 522 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/561/295/mid_E_GA_291_1949_1_201506_jas244_mas.jpg height: 255 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/E.GA.291.1949_1_201506_jas244_mas.tif surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/561/295/preview_E_GA_291_1949_1_201506_jas244_mas.jpg height: 127 pixels width: 249 pixels surrogate: zoom format: pyramid tiff location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/561/295/E_GA_291_1949_1_201506_jas244_mas.ptif height: 3127 pixels width: 6132 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/561/296/large_E_GA_291_1949_2_201506_jas244_mas.jpg height: 548 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/561/296/mid_E_GA_291_1949_2_201506_jas244_mas.jpg height: 268 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/E.GA.291.1949_2_201506_jas244_mas.tif surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/561/296/preview_E_GA_291_1949_2_201506_jas244_mas.jpg height: 134 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: zoom format: pyramid tiff location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/561/296/E_GA_291_1949_2_201506_jas244_mas.ptif height: 3320 pixels width: 6202 pixels
