Fragments of Rhind Mathematical Papyrus Fragments of Rhind Mathematical Papyrus, ca. 1493-1481 B.C.E. Papyrus, ink, Largest Fragment: 6 5/16 x 3 3/8 in. (16 x 8.5 cm). This papyrus was most likely a mathematical reference textbook for the use of scribes. These fragments became separated from the main papyrus when the roll was broken into two parts, probably at the time of its discovery in the mid-nineteenth century. The fragments seen in the upper register, and those few on the right, are from the end of a section that dealt with the simplification of fractions. The fragments in the five lower registers on the left come from the beginning of the section that demonstrated the equitable division of one, two, six, seven, eight, and nine loaves of bread among ten men. Egyptian, Classical, Ancient Near Eastern Art ca. 1493-1481 B.C.E.

Fragments from a Book of the Dead ca. 1390-1353 B.C. New Kingdom Fragments of a papyrus mounted in four frames, with additional fragments in two dishes, discovered in Tomb MMA 831 (TT 297). This tomb belonged to an 18th Dynasty official named Amenemotep (also called Djehutynefer) and thus the papyrus may date to this era, specifically to the reign of Amenhotep III; however, a Ramesside date for the papyrus has also been suggested. The text is in vertical columns, primarily in black ink with rubrics in red. The hand is large and very fine. The vignettes used a polychrome palette that included red, black, yellow, white, red, and blue.This frame includes numerous fragments of vignettes, including standing and kneeling human figures in long white kilts and robes; offerings and offering tables; and figures of gods, including Khepri, the snake demon..
