Inventory Number: 22.3.21a, b Second Intermediate Period–Early New Kingdom, Dynasty 17-18, ca. 1580–1479 B.C. Location Information: From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Unfinished Temple ("Seankhkare") Valley, Pit Tomb MMA 1008/1016 (Mond 8), MMA excavations, 1920–21

Description:

These sandals, along with a second, similar pair (22.3.20a), were found in the chamber of a pit tomb used ultimately for the burial of a 21st Dynasty (ca. 1100 B.C.) charioteer named Itamun (see 26.3.1a, b). They come, however, from an earlier burial that was pushed aside for the tomb's new occupant.

The soles of the sandals are formed of tightly woven papyrus in narrow rows, with three outer bands defining the shape. The thongs are made of thicker strips of flattened reeds.

Head of a Male Figure - Met Museum Collection

Inventory Number: 2021.41.35 Second Intermediate Period, ca. 1650–1550 BC Location Information: Location Unlisted

Description:

This small head wearing a bagwig has the somewhat coarse facial features that mark objects commissioned by non-elite members of Egyptian society for placement in their tombs or as temple donations. The wide forehead, puffy cheeks, large eyes, and small slightly smiling mouth are all features that date it to the Second Intermediate Period, a time of political fragmentation in Egypt that saw the creation of lively artworks.
