EGYPTIAN WOODEN BOAT MODEL
Middle Kingdom, Ca. 2055 - 1790 BC. An Egyptian Middle Kingdom wooden boat model made from sycamore wood. Found in tombs, models such as this one depict small crews, including rowers and a helmsman, along with oars, sails, and painted decorations. These models were made to symbolise the journey into the Afterlife, though they also accurately reflect the structure and layout of real boats used for transport, fishing, and ceremonial purposes in Ancient Egypt. Reviewed by Simone Musso, consultant curator for Egyptian antiquities at the Stibbert Museum, Florence, Italy, member of the Nuri Archaeological Expedition. Size: 370mm x 200mm; Weight: 3.67g Provenance: Property of a London art gallery; Ex. French collection, 1970s. This item has been cleared against the Art Loss Register database and comes with a confirmation letter. This piece is accompanied by a historical report from Alessandro Neri, an international Cultural Heritage expert based in Florence, Italy.
