Hierakonpolis

, Nekhen town, Temple, 'Main Deposit'.

1898–1899 : Egypt Exploration Fund excavation.

Collection unknown

Date : Naqada III

This model comes from the 'Main Deposit' at Hierakonpolis, which notably contained Early Dynastic material such as the Narmer Palette, the Narmer Mace-head and the Scorpion Mace-head (Dynasties "0" and 1). The archaic levels in the Temple of Hierakonpolis are extremely difficult to date with precision since the deposits have been used during an extensive period of time and mix materials from different periods.

Material : Serpentine (Carved)

Preservation : Unknown

Description

Naviform object, similar to MOD-0031, but without the 'snakes' wavy protrusions underneath the hull. No illustration of the object has been published.
