IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 62960 accession number: E.1.1962 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Thursday 19 November 2015 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Wood box with carved relief on the outside. The two long sides have images of peacocks and lotus flowers. The short ends have two floral motifs and a knot (possibly a reference to the Egyptian tyet knot, that was linked with Isis or perhaps a bundle of cloth or corn?); the second end has a single peacock, which is covered by the copper alloy lock plate and the iron pin that once held the lock in place. The lid slides off the box and on this is a carved bone inlay. The represents the god Dionysos (the Greek and Roman god of wine and also the underworld though association with the Egyptian Osiris). The god stands with his arm placed behind his head and to his side is a panther. In Greek mythology the baby Dionysos was often shown riding a panther. It is possible that the box was associated with a festival of Dionysos or was made for the burial by association with the underworld links of this particular god. object type: Wood casket, with bone relief of Dionysos and panther. title: box LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Antiquities STABLE URL ---------- url: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/62960 CATEGORIES ------ category: cosmetic equipment DATING ------ creation date: 301 - 400 creation date earliest: 301 creation date latest: 400 culture: Roman DIMENSIONS ---------- dimension: Height units: m value: 0.06 dimension: Length units: m value: 0.085 EXHIBITIONS HISTORY ------------------- title: 5000 Years of Egyptian Art CITATIONS -------- 5,000 Years of Egyptian art Egyptian Art [1995] The Cemeteries of Qasr Ibrim --- IMAGES surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant16/E_1_1962_281_29.jpg height: 570 pixels width: 760 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant16/mid_E_1_1962_281_29.jpg height: 375 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant16/E_1_1962_281_29.jpg height: 570 pixels width: 760 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant16/preview_E_1_1962_281_29.jpg height: 188 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant16/E_1_1962_282_29.jpg height: 570 pixels width: 760 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant16/mid_E_1_1962_282_29.jpg height: 375 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant16/E_1_1962_282_29.jpg height: 570 pixels width: 760 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant16/preview_E_1_1962_282_29.jpg height: 188 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant16/E_1_1962_283_29.jpg height: 760 pixels width: 570 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant16/mid_E_1_1962_283_29.jpg height: 667 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant16/E_1_1962_283_29.jpg height: 760 pixels width: 570 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant16/preview_E_1_1962_283_29.jpg height: 333 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant16/E_1_1962_284_29.jpg height: 760 pixels width: 570 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant16/mid_E_1_1962_284_29.jpg height: 667 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant16/E_1_1962_284_29.jpg height: 760 pixels width: 570 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant16/preview_E_1_1962_284_29.jpg height: 333 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant16/E_1_1962_285_29.jpg height: 570 pixels width: 760 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant16/mid_E_1_1962_285_29.jpg height: 375 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant16/E_1_1962_285_29.jpg height: 570 pixels width: 760 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant16/preview_E_1_1962_285_29.jpg height: 188 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant20/E_1_1962_286_29.jpg height: 597 pixels width: 760 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant20/mid_E_1_1962_286_29.jpg height: 393 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant20/E_1_1962_286_29.jpg height: 597 pixels width: 760 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant20/preview_E_1_1962_286_29.jpg height: 196 pixels width: 250 pixels
