Third Intermediate Period Seven shabti boxes were interred with Nauny; five came to New York in the division of finds (30.3.26-.30) and two are now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. All are made of sycomore wood and have high ends and flat lids that were meant to slide into grooves, although only one box (Cairo JE 55044) actually had these made. A white stucco wash was applied after the lids were closed. A total of 392 faience shabtis were divided between the boxes, in most cases packed tightly in an upright position. They are of two types: foremen and workers, with an average ratio of one foreman to ten workers. This box contained 5 supervisors and 51 workers.. Shabti Box of Nauny. ca. 1050 B.C..

Author: Ancient Egyptian.Fragment with Stamped Leaves and Rosettes 7th-9th century This ceramic fragment was excavated in Ctesiphon, the Sasanian metropolis and administrative capital conquered by Arab Muslim armies in 637. The city was known in Arabic as al-Madain, or "the cities", for its extended area. Arab historians indulge in describing al-Madain/Ctesiphons grand monuments, which obsessed Muslim rulers and may have acquired a symbolic meaning related to its imperial past. This was the case of the Taq-i Kisra, an impressively-sized ivan (a vaulted hall with one side open) partially dismantled to reuse its bricks in caliphal buildings in the new capital Baghdad.Finds like this unglazed fragment attest to the patterns of continuity and change in material culture between the late Sasanian and the early Islamic period. The fragment bears a design of stamped leaves and rosettes found on late Sasanian and early Islamic unglazed wares. The decoration would have been obtained by juxtaposing the impression of sStatue of the 'Sacred boat of Queen Mutemwia', 18th Dynasty Egyptian (approx. 1400 BC). Made from black granite.
