EGYPTIAN TERRACOTTA FUNERARY CONE STAMP SEAL
New Kingdom, Ca. 1550 - 1069 BCAn Egyptian pottery funerary cone made of coarse terracotta. It has a cylindrical form and a stamped circular face with four columns of hieroglyphic text. Funerary cones, placed in the ends of chapel roof support beams, were traditionally inserted in rows with their flat ends facing outward. Made of fired Nile mud, cones like this example are some of our earliest written records. Most are found in the Theban Necropolis in Upper Egypt and the surrounding area, where the tradition seems particularly strong.
