Greenish enameled terracotta

Greenish enameled terracotta

Mummy with the back pillar separated from klaft (type XI A1). The hands are crossed, right over left, the right sleeve is visible (H 2). On the left shoulder is a hoe and a cord, on the right a pick (I 8). It seems that a Saite trapezoid bag with diagonal crossed fibers is at the back, on the left shoulder (B 28). An inscription is only on the dorsal column in the two separate columns. It is separated with a deep incision from the klaft (variation of Tp 12). It starts with the usual formula shđ Wsir, enlightened Osiris. The proportions are unusual. The body is very broad, while the head is disproportionately large in relation to the body. Typologically it is of the Saite period.
