#ostracon

Female dancer from Deir el-Medina

▫ This limestone ostracon (Museo Egizio. Cat. 7052) was discovered in the famous Worker's Village of Deir el-Medina. Dating from approximately, 1292–1076 B.C., this piece was created within the 19th or 20th Dynasty.

Deir el-Medina (Set Ma’at) was a workman’s village, which was state commissioned and owned. The artisans and architects who would design and build the tombs of the royals and elite would live there for many centuries with their families.

Comedy ostracon with a cat set to watch over six geese. The stripy cat has a little smile, as though it's in on the joke. I took this snap at the Ramses and the Gold of the Pharaohs exhibition at the Australian Museum.
