Item Details
Description
Circa 332-30 BC, Ptolemaic PeriodAn intriguing example of a falcon that has undergone the process of mummification. Coarse linens bind the legs tightly together and the wings against the chest cavity, and the wrapped head is tilted slightly sideways. The raptor-like legs are visible within the lower wrappings and bear curled talons. Though distinctly avian in form, falcon mummies from the Egyptian Late Period were once identified as children due to their size until they were unwrapped.Size: L:410mm / W:68mm; 285g Provenance: Private J.H. collection, Beaverton, Oregon, USA, acquired around 2008; ex-private Montrose, California, USA collection
