Egyptian Gallery
by RnibOrigin unknown; 395-30 BC; mummified cat in linen bandages; 30 cm high by 8 cm wide and 7 cm deep. Animals associated with deities were regularly mummified in the later periods of Egyptian history. The cat is associated with the goddess Bastet. The cat mummy is tightly wrapped in many layers of overlapping wrappings. It has a head in the shape of a cat and a body shaped like a long cylinder with a flat bottom. The ears stick up from the head and the eyes have been added on top of the wrappings and look a bit like buttons eyes sewn in place through the centre. The tactile image is about the same size as the actual mummy and is shown in outline infilled with a texture. Further lines show some of the overlapping wrappings to give an idea of the patterning they make. A different texture shows the nose and mouth area that has been wrapped slightly differently to the rest of the cat. The eyes are shown as hollows with solid centres.

Egyptian Gallery
by RnibLuxor, Egypt; 664-343 BC; painted wood; 122 cm long by 50 cm wide and 40 cm high. Lady Tahathor was a wealthy lady who lived and died in Luxor about 2,500 years ago. Her mummy inside its mummy case was bought as a tourist souvenir by Mr G. Errington of Colchester who brought it back to England in the 1850s before donating it to Colchester Museum in 1871. The mummy case is richly painted. The colours survive particularly well because unusually the coffin maker did not varnish the case which can lead to yellow discoloration. The coffin is painted with symbols to protect the mummy within. The chest area is covered in repeating lines of feathers. Against these is painted a winged goddess of protection with her wings outstretched. Another winged goddess is painted again across the top of the feet. Rows of gods and goddesses are seen holding feathers to observe Anubis attending to the mummy of Lady Tahathor which is shown laid on a funeral bier. Her pale pink face is carefully sculptured with facial detail painted on. Her large almond-shaped eyes are in typical Egyptian style - large black circular pupils on a white background surrounded by a thick black line that extends slightly at each corner. Surrounding her face is a long striped gold and blue headdress that is tucked behind her sculptured ears. A very short fringe runs across her forehead just below the headdress. The ears are highlighted with black lines including a black spot where an earring would go. Between the headdress on her chest is patterning in horizontal lines in green, red, gold and blue. The tactile image is a close-up of the face of Lady Tahathor to nearly the end of the headress and is about half the size of the face on the mummy case. Her facial features are shown in outline with no texture for her skin. Her eyes and eyebrows are shown with solid texture along with her lips. A texture shows the blue stripes on her headdress with no texture for the gold stripes. The patterning on her chest is shown with texture and solid shapes.

Only the beautiful rose-red slippers her master gives her can make Rhodopis smile. So when a falcon swoops down and snatches one of the slippers away, Rhodipis is heartbroken. For how is she to know that the slipper will land in the lap of the great Pharoah himself? And who would ever guess that the Pharoah has promised to find the slipper's owner and make her queen of all Egypt?
Egyptian Gallery
by RnibPart of a wall mural in the Egyptian Gallery, Ipswich Museum; this section is 111 cm long and 48 cm high. This is a scene of everyday life in Ancient Egypt of two men - one kneeling and one standing - on a papyrus raft trying to prevent a crocodile from getting near to their two oxen that they are driving across the river. The structure of the raft can be seen - stems of papyrus bound together with ropes to form a floating wide 'u' shaped platform with each end raised out of the water. Both men hold long poles with 'y' shaped ends that they are pushing down towards the large crocodile that has its mouth open showing its fearsome teeth. Both are looking down directly at the crocodile with determined looks on their faces. The two oxen, standing side by side with water up to their bellies, are directly in front of the raft and have huge horns typical of Egyptian cattle. The ox nearest the crocodile has its head turned towards it with an expression of fear. The Nile is painted blue with vertical zigzag dark blue lines. The raft is green with darker green for the binding ropes. The men have dark brown skin. The kneeling man is wearing a white kilt and a white headdress that completely covers his hair. The standing man also wears a white kilt but has no headdress and his black hair looks ruffled. Both have bare feet. The oxen have light brown horns with white bodies, one with black spotty markings and the other with brown. The tactile image is four and a quarter times smaller than the actual scene and follows the lines and shapes as closely as possible. The raft, poles, horns, teeth of crocodile and hair of standing man are shown with solid texture. The oxen and crocodile are shown in outline infilled with two different textures. The men are also shown in outline with no texture for their skin and a third texture for their kilts. The kneeling man's headdress is shown with the same texture as the crocodile. Thin lines show the zigzag lines of the river.

Egyptian Gallery
by RnibHawara, Egypt, AD 80-120, excavated in 1888 by Flinders Petrie; cartonnage, like papier mache but using linen and plaster of paris covered in gold leaf with the inner surface painted; 45 cm high by 34 cm wide and 24 cm deep (from back of head to tip of nose). This is a 2,000-year-old mummy mask from the Roman period. It shows the face of a man whose name we know, because it's written on the mask: Titos Flavios Demetrios. He was living in Egypt but was of Greek descent - descended from the soldiers Alexander the Great had put into Egypt. What we don't know is how he became a Roman citizen. The gold mask was designed to fit over the head of the mummy a bit like a large helmet and was to give the dead person the powers of gods and thus helping them with their journey to the afterlife. The face is carefully moulded with the facial features clearly shown. The eyes, painted white with black outline, pupils and eyebrows, stare directly at you. Surrounding the face is a long headdress, similar in style to Lady Tahathor that forms the outer edges of the mask. This mask shows in raised relief Osiris on his throne, with Isis and Nephthys acting as mourners. On either side are birds, the hawk god Horus and Ba or soul-bird. At the base are eight underworld gods wearing sun discs and holding feathers to observe Anubis attending to the mummy of Titos. The inner surface of the mask, not designed to have been seen, is left undecorated. The tactile image shows the side view of the mask to show how it would have fitted over the mummy and the shape of the face. It is about half the size of the actual mask. The shape of the mask and facial features are outlined with a texture for the headdress. Thinner lines, a different texture and solid texture show some of the raised relief on the headdress. Solid texture also shows the eyebrow, eye and mouth.

Egyptian Hieroglyphic Grammar
by Gunther RoederWritten and spoken for about 4,000 years, Egyptian is no longer a living language (Arabic is the major language of modern Egypt); however, ancient Egyptian is still studied by Egyptologists, historians, archaeologists, and students interested in the age-old civilization along the Nile.Typically, students of ancient Egyptian begin with Middle, or Classical, Egyptian, which was written in hieroglyphic script. Middle Egyptian is especially important because it is the language in which many important literary works were written. Moreover, when it was no longer spoken, Middle Egyptian continued to be taught in temples and schools as a vehicle of literary and liturgical expression.This compact handbook, by a noted German Egyptologist, was specially designed for beginning students who wish to acquire enough basic knowledge to enable them to read the easier hieroglyphic texts. Toward that end, the author begins with a general discussion of Middle Egyptian and its script, followed by concise, accessible lessons in phonology, formation and usage of nouns and other parts of speech, and syntax. With careful study, the student should be able, even after the first lesson, to translate simple sentences independently. A list of hieroglyphs, a vocabulary section, and reading exercises complete this handy manual that offers students quick and easy access to the language and culture of ancient Egypt.

by RnibAmulets were magic charms worn for protection against injury or disease. The living wore them as jewellery and they covered the body of the dead to protect them in the afterlife. Amulets came in many forms. Many depicted gods so the living may have worn a figure of Bes protector of the family, whilst mummies were covered with gods of the afterlife such as Anubis or Horus. Some were the shape of body parts such as a hand or leg. These may have been magical replacements for actual limbs that had been lost or damaged. Many amulets represented a hieroglyph such as the ˜Ankh which meant life or the ˜Djed' pillar for stability. The ˜wadjat' was the eye of the god Horus and meant ˜Healthy one'. It was thought to give strong protection against evil. Scarabs were beetle-shaped charms representing rebirth and placed within the mummy's wrappings.The Heart Scarab was most important of all, covering the heart so that it did not speak out against you when you were judged by Osiris god of the underworld. (a) Djed pillar - origin unknown; 664-343 BC; faience (a ceramic made with sand); 11 cm high by 3 cm wide and 1.5 cm thick. A pale blue/green glazed pillar with a flared base and four horizontal bars at the top and looks like an electricity pylon. Tactile image is just slightly larger. (b) Bes - origin and date unknown; faience (a ceramic made with sand); 3.5 cm high by 0.6 cm wide and 0.6 cm thick. This pale blue/green glazed figure is in the shape of the dwarf god Bes and has a large head and small body with short arms and legs. Tactile image is four times larger. (c) Wadjat (or Eye of Horus for protection) - origin unknown; 945-656 BC; faience (a ceramic made with sand); 4.5 cm high by 5 cm wide and 1 cm thick. An Egyptian-style eye that has a thick outline with a pupil in the middle with the corner of the eye extended to the left. An eyebrow follows the same line as the eye and its outline extension. Below the eye is a slightly off centre 'j' shape that goes from the base of the eye just past the pupil and turns upwards below the outline extension. A further vertical pattern extends between the eye and eyebrow and between the bottom of the eye down to the base of the 'j' shape. This is also the shape of the hieroglyphic symbol for the wadjat. Most of the blue/green glaze has come off it making it look more like a stone than pottery. Tactile image is one and a half time larger. (d) Heart scarab - origin unknown; 664-343 BC; faience (a ceramic made with sand); 14.5 cm long by 8 cm high and 1 cm thick. This has the body of a scarab or dung beetle with falcon wings on either side. The wings are attached through small holes in the scarab and wings by fine cord. The scarab has the distinctive shape - head, thorax and abdomen divided by two lines, one across and one down to show where the wings would emerge for flying. The wings have a straight top with rounded sides and base. The heart scarab is pale blue with black markings on the wings to denote the primary feathers. Tactile image is just slightly smaller. The tactile image shows the three amulets and heart scarab on one page. All are shown in outline infilled with a texture. Further lines and solid texture show some of their detail.
