Model boat

Unknown

ca. 1981–1802 B.C. · Wood, paint, stucco · Egyptian Art

This model funerary boat was composed in modern times from ancient elements. Not all of these belonged originally to a boat model: the tall standing figure is actually a separate funerary figurine that bears the name Ukhhotep. This name can also be found on the sides of the chair of the seated figure.
