Dendera Temple Complex : Egypt My mother had made the decision to travel to Israel, Jordan and Egypt. It has been a life long pilgrimage for mum. She was soo disappointed when this opportunity came up, COVID hit. Eureka this time the trip went off without a hitch. So of course I asked to share some of her photos of the trip. Some not so clear as they taken on her iPhone

You've all seen the 4th Dynasty beadnet dress now, but what if I could further interest you in the 12th Dynasty faience beadwork apron of Senebtisi:

The apron is made out of faience beads in various shapes. The two sides have distinct motifs: the right side (viewer's left) is made from long round tube beads with lotus-shaped beads at the top beneath the belt, and the left side consists of elongated barrel beads separated by dogbone beads, topped with papyrus-shaped beads.

The sides are separated by a gold-coloured, rectangular buckle carrying Senebtisi's name in hieroglyphs (read from right to left) at the front, and by a gold-capped tail comprised of small rondelle beads at the back.

Not much is known about Senebtisi. She was buried at Lisht with a large array of expensive grave goods, and this apron may indicate a royal connection.

Dendera Temple Complex: Egypt

Mum had successfully and finally completed this promised land trip. A bucket list for my mum. She’s allowed me to share photos of her trip. Most of the photos were full of tourists and mum. These few didn’t have people in them. Did a few cropping edits to straighten them without compromising the picture. Really like them even though slightly unbalanced

Cosmetic Vessel in the Shape of a Cat Middle Kingdom Ca. 1990–1900 B.C. Egypt

The cat first appears in painting and relief at the end of the Old Kingdom, and this cosmetic jar is the earliest-known three-dimensional representation of the animal in Egyptian art. The sculptor demonstrates a keen understanding of the creature's physical traits, giving the animal the alert, tense look of a hunter rather than the elegant aloofness seen in later representations. The rock-crystal eyes, lined with copper, enhance the impression of readiness.

Travertine (Egyptian alabaster), copper, quartz crystal, paint. H. 14 (5 1/2 in.); l. 13.7 cm (5 3/8 in.); w. 6.2 cm (2 7/16 in.).
