An oval shaped clay mould for producing a faience pendant of petal form. Bibliography: For more information about Egyptian faience, see S. Boonstra 2016 'Tjehenet: The Brilliant Manufacture of Egyptian Faience' in S. Boonstra (ed.) Objects Come to Life Virtual Exhibition, Birmingham Egyptology. Notes: Uniform beads, amulets, and scarabs could be mass-produced by forming the objects in moulds, such as ECM 1017 and ECM 1818, before firing.
