Abstract
The Museo Egizio in Turin holds numerous artefacts found at Giza during archaeological excavations conducted by Ernesto Schiaparelli in February 1903. Among the material from the Late Period, two clay vases stand out because they carry a hieratic inscription. They were most likely used as containers for remains of the embalming process, stored in one of the so-called “embalming caches” that are found in Late Period funerary contexts. Many vessels with hieratic and Demotic inscriptions have come to light at Giza, Abusir, Saqqara and Thebes, but none that is published bears an inscription similar to that of these two Turin vessels. The aim of this contribution is to draw attention to these objects and their – so far unattested – inscriptions to give researchers working on embalming material and its archaeological context further study material.
ملخص
هذا البحث الموجز يسلط الضوء على آنيتين متواجدتين في المتحف المصري في تورينو ويبرز عليها الكتابة الهيراطيقية. وجدت أثناء الحفريات الأثرية التي أجراها إرنستو سكياباريللي في الجيزة في شباط/فبراير 1903، على الأرجح من الموقع المسمى بـ "مخبأ التحنيط"، كان شائعاَ في العصر المتأخر ضمن المباني الجنائزية. ظهرت العديد من الأواني عليها نقوش هيراطيقية والديموطيقية في الجيزة وابو صير وسقارة وطيبة، ولكن لا يوجد عليها نقش مماثل لنقوش هاتين الآنيتين.
