Recent paper on Tutankhamun's rawhide scale armour. It does not mention the replica by Todd Feinman commissioned and tested for a Mike Loades documentary archleathgrp.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/... #egyptolgy #armsAndArmour #materialCulture
Fresco against red background depicting a bald scribe in white linen robes. His hands are out stretched and he reads from a papyrus roll. On his head, two white feathers (a headdress seen in other images of Isiac priests). Behind him on a large plinth stands a black cat with a gold headdress (a sign of divinity).
From the portico of the Temple of Isis in Pompeii, an image of a priest, possibly a scribe with his feather headdress (if we can trust Clement of Alexandria). Behind him a divine cat is about to pounce on his scroll. 🏺 #AncientBluesky #Egyptolgy
