Lecture Programme 8 Fulton House Room 2 Surveying a Suspect Shabti Some months ago I was asked by an acquaintance whether I could find out whether a shabti which had been in his family’s possession since the early 1970’s was genuine. Unfortunately the piece had no provenance beyond it had previously been owned by a person of some importance in the Catholic Church and the only potential clue as to its origins was that at some point it had been contained within a box marked ‘Cairo Museum’, which had now unfortunately been mislaid.

  • How to Make an Egyptian Diorama
    How to Make an Egyptian Diorama http://www.wikihow.com/Make‐a‐Diorama A diorama is a small model of a real‐life scene that has lifelike details and a realistic background. Since we are reading, “The Curse of the Pharaohs”, you will be creating an Egyptian themed tomb as though you were an ancient Egyptian King or Queen. Steps for creating your Egyptian Tomb 1. Choose a tomb scene to re‐create in a shoebox. 2. Make sketches of how you want your diorama to look. Plan the front, back, sides, and top. Make the inside of the diorama look as deep and 3 dimensional as you can. Make a list of the things you will need to make your diorama. Use a variety of materials. 3. Make a base for the model out of a shoebox. Make sure your box is sturdy. 4. Find small figures to go along with your scene or make them out of clay, printouts, pipe cleaners, plasticine or other materials. Use your imagination. 5. Be creative. Anything you can find (cotton balls, leaves, twigs, etc.) will work. 6. Hang flying objects with clear string such as monofilament used for fishing line, if you have it. 7. Write a caption for your diorama. In your caption include the book you read and author. 8. You will also put an Egyptian‐styled Curse to warn others not to disturb your tomb. Tips • Put bigger items in the back, leaving the scene easy to see. • The most important object of your diorama should be centered or just a bit off center to draw the viewers attention to it first.

  • A Catalogue of the Egyptian Collection in the Fitzwilliam
    ~ O=Jl."'~~] lJlC01~~~] ~ O~!>hl!>hl-;] lJl G~~~] S:O=~f1"'~~] CAMBRIDGE LIBRARY CO LL E C TION Books of enduring scholarly value Cambridge The city of Cambridge received its royal charter in 1201, having already been home to Britons, Romans and Anglo-Saxons for many centuries. Cambridge University was founded soon afterwards and celebrates its octocentenary in 2009. This series explores the history and influence of Cambridge as a centre of science, learning, and discovery, its contributions to national and global politics and culture, and its inevitable controversies and scandals. A Catalogue of the Egyptian Collection in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge Since the first donations of Egyptian artefacts to the Fitzwilliam Museum, including most notably the sarcophagus lid of Rameses III donated in 1823, its ancient Egyptian holdings have grown steadily. This collection, now one of the most important in Britain, was catalogued for the first time by Sir Ernest Alfred Thompson Wallis Budge (1857–1934) of the British Museum’s department of antiquities. Budge was a leading authority on ancient Egypt and had himself acquired several pieces for the museum in Egypt in 1886-7. The collection as listed in this 1893 publication included 577 objects: sarcophagi, coffins, canopic jars, mummies, scarabs, sculptures, and other decorative objects. Budge provided transcriptions and translations of the hieroglyphs that appear on the objects with his descriptions of each item. Although the collection has been augmented by many further gifts and purchases, Budge’s catalogue remains a valuable record of the collection in the late Victorian period. Cambridge University Press has long been a pioneer in the reissuing of out-of- print titles from its own backlist, producing digital reprints of books that are still sought after by scholars and students but could not be reprinted economically using traditional technology.

Since these mummiform tomb figures were produced in great numbers in antiquity and vary widely in terms of quality, medium, and size, they are available to collectors today of different tastes and at all price levels.

  • Egyptian Ushabtiu. the Quaint Solution of an Old
    EGYPTIAN USHABTIU. THE QUAINT SOLUTION OF AN OLD PROBLEM. BY GEORGE H. RICHARDSON. (Honorary Secretary of the Egypt Exploration Fund.) THERE is a strange fascination in tracing the developments of civilizations other than our own. Perhaps in nothing do we discover the civilization of a people so much as in the treatment of their dead. There is a development in this treatment as in other things and we see the evolution of the life, thought and hopes of the people as we examine their cemeteries and their funeral rituals. What would our knowledge of ancient Egypt amount to were it not for the fact that the Egyptians so carefully buried their dead ? Those gigantic pyramids are but tombs built in cemeteries stretching over miles. The great sphinx was regarded as the guardian of the tomb of its maker Khafra, of the fourth dynasty, and over the cemetery at Gizeh. But at this time we are not dealing either with the ceme- teries or tombs, but rather with the small figures found in the tombs called ushabtiu. What are the ushabtiu? Ushabtiu (singular, ushabfi) was the name given by the Egyptians to the figures made of stone, wood, clay, alabaster, granite, bronze, painted and gilded limestone, and glazed faience, representing the god Osiris made in form of a mummy at times, but most often in the form of a workman. While the majority bear the strictly Osirian form, yet there are other forms, due, no doubt, to the skill of the maker seeking a fresh out- let. At times the figure is represented as mummified with only the head and face appearing.
