[QUOTE]Originally posted by Just call me Jari: [QB] [IMG]http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/images/objects/size3/54.187_front_PS2.jpg[/IMG] Standing Statuette of Lady Tuty Lady Tuty's statuette was discovered in a communal tomb at Medinet Gurob. The style of Tuty's sculpture is more traditional than a statue of Lady Mi also found at the tomb: the figure is slimmer and the fringed dress is depicted in a plainer, heavier fabric. Certain elements—such as the big gilded earrings and the faint traces of gilded sandals—associate her with the extraordinary wealth of Amunhotep's time. The cone on her head represents a type of perfumed ointment worn by wealthy Egyptians at banquets and other opulent occasions. The cone gradually melted, releasing its fragrance over the hair and clothes. * Medium: Wood, gilded * Place Excavated: Medinet Gurob, Egypt * Dates: ca. 1390-1352 B.C.E. * Dynasty: XVIII Dynasty * Period: New Kingdom * Dimensions: 10 1/8 x 1 7/8 x 5 1/2 in. (25.7 x 4.8 x 14 cm) [/QB][/QUOTE]
