The Apis bull can be seen escorting the deceased back to the tomb on the footboards of coffins from the mid-Third Intermediate Period, particularly in the 25th and 26th Dynasties. The shape of the eye (and colour) closely matches those seen on a head of an "Apis mummy", from the Rosicrucian Museum, labelled RC-367. https://egyptianmuseum.catalogaccess.com/objects/342 eye of cow or bull, rim. The object came to Edward Towry-Whyte from the Harris Collection in 1889, and was object number 648 in the Towry-Whyte Bequest to the Fitzwilliam Museum. reference exhibition-4006 adlib-exhibition-4006 23f3141d-2340-3d22-ba81-41bfe14f166e Made in Ancient Egypt E.117.1932 1 accession number E.117.1932 52849 priref 52849 oldadmincategory FG uri https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/52849 https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/52849 reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum bequeathed by Edward Towry Whyte from the Harris Collection, 1932 reference agent-159537 adlib-agent-159537 5b34849e-3aa6-3199-ba38-2fcc7871b8bc Whyte, Edward Towry 1932 1932 1932 bequeathed reference term-107870 adlib-term-107870 4e6e7a6c-6076-3260-bc72-1404368e4f3a Egypt reference term-107870 adlib-term-107870 4e6e7a6c-6076-3260-bc72-1404368e4f3a literal Egypt Egypt country Egypt Length cm 9.5 Width cm 6.3 reference term-110813 adlib-term-110813 f22a9ca1-3f86-3526-a541-1da33d800022 inlay reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference number literal name Egypt Egypt reference publication-1924 adlib-publication-1924 3252f5ca-97b5-359d-8e95-0108bc09ab88 Glass at the Fitzwilliam Museum
