Coffin Fragments in the Stuart L . Wheeler Gallery of the Ancient World
نویسنده
چکیده
When Dr. J.L.M. Curry, a professor at the University of Richmond, journeyed to Egypt in 1876, his travels left him experienced in the acquisition of Egyptian antiquities. In all probability, Dr. Curry secured two coffin fragments for the University’s collection on this trip along with other assorted antiquities still on display in the gallery, including the mummy of Ti Ameny Net, the two relief fragments, and the small sphinx. Serving as excellent examples of Egyptian burial mythology, these coffin fragments are a valuable addition to the gallery’s collection and much about the history of Egyptian art, particularly in relation to mortuary practices, can be learned from the scenes depicted on them.
