Fine Egyptian limestone fragment, probably from a shrine wall, showing the lion head end of a funerary bed, the support for a canopy visible above.
Middle Kingdom,
2040 - 1640 BC
References:
Condition: surface blackened, probably from a fire being built within the chapel once it was disused; limestone was also burnt to make mortar, destroying many fine carvings.
