A lot of the time, the pieces that catch my eye in the museums are the limestone fragments that contain colorful hieroglyphs πΉππͺ.
I donβt know why I like these seemingly unassuming pieces so much, but I do. Itβs probably because theyβre so colorful! Once upon a time, most Egyptian reliefs were as colorful as this piece, however with the passage of time, most of the colors faded. Itβs so cool to almost catch a glimpse of what the colors were like thousands of years ago!
This limestone raised relief came from the wall of a tomb ππ«ππ. It is dated to the 18th-19th Dynasties of the New Kingdom. I love how detailed the hieroglyphs πΉππͺ are!
