Portion of a Historical Text Portion of a Historical Text, ca. 1809-1743 B.C.E. Papyrus, ink, 35.1446a-e: 11 1/2 × 71 5/8 in. (29.2 × 182 cm). When complete, the papyrus to which this fragment belonged measured almost seven feet long. The texts are written in a cursive form of hieroglyphs called hieratic. Differences in handwriting and in the historical events described demonstrate that different scribes added new inscriptions over several generations. The most important text recounts the efforts of a Thirteenth Dynasty Theban noblewoman named Senebtisi to establish legal ownership of ninety-five household servants, whose names indicate that forty-five were of Asiatic origin. The presence of so many foreigners in a single household suggests that the Asiatic population was increasing rapidly in Thirteenth Dynasty Egypt. As was customary, some of these foreigners no doubt married Egyptians, adopted Egyptian beliefs and cultural traditions, and were absorbed into the cultural mainstream.

Textile Fragment dated A.H. 366/A.D. 976 This tiraz fragment has two addorsed lines of kufic script embroidered in red silk. The majority of the inscription is preserved; it follows the style of workshops produced in the Abbasid and early Fatimid periods, beginning with the Muslim expression of faith (the Shahada) and names the Fatimid caliph al-Aziz (r. A.D. 975-96) as well as the year of manufacture (A.H. 366/A.D. 976). The finished edge of the fabric that is preserved in this fragment suggests that it was originally part of a shawl..
