Redware conical pot that once held an ibis mummy (ECM 6230b and 6230c) Notes: The ibis mummy was possibly intended as an offering to the god Thoth. The Egyptian also prepared elaborate effigies for sacred animals; an excellent example is the Ptolemaic cat statuettes dedicated to the goddess Bastet and inscribed with solar imagery (such as ECM 6522). |
