Shrine Shaped Plaque
Description
<p>This unusual faience pectoral has scenes carved on the front face, the back is blank. In the top register two worshippers in short kilts stand before a table of offerings set before the seated Osiris; in the bottom register, a man stands in a boat while another poles it along. Birds are perched on the papyrus blossoms at either end of the craft. The combination of the motifs, the style of the figures, and the unfunctional holes on the back indicate that this object was produced in the late 19th or early 20th century.</p><p>For the latest information about this object, <cite><a href='https://purl.thewalters.org/art/42.90' rel='external'>Shrine Shaped Plaque</a></cite>, visit the Online Collection of the Walters Art Museum.</p>
