Ostraca of Senenmut retailer - Ancient Egyptian Art

My Ostraca Replica of the Artist's Sketches of Senenmut

Dimensions: 5 x 8 cm

Ostraca are chips of retailer limestone or fragments of pottery that were used as writing surfaces by ancient Egyptian scribes, or as sketch pads by artists. Despite the lack of any identifying text, the double profile on this ostracon can easily be identified as Senenmut, one of Hatshepsut's well-known courtiers. The profiles are similar to the representation of Senenmut on another ostracon in the Museum's collection.
