The arts of daily life in ancient Egypt inside the Egyptian Museum
In the ancient Egyptian times, the bone and ivory formed the ideal materials for sculpture, allowing craftsmen to devise varied tools that are indispensable in daily use, such as combs and hairpins, in addition to musical tools and furniture elements, spoons and deep pots that were likely to be used to mix cosmetics.
These pieces are characterized by the accuracy of their decorations and the beauty of their details, which makes them a living witness to the sophistication of ancient Egyptian art and its ability to convert the simplest tools into artifacts.
The group dates back to the pre -captivating modern (Naqada III, the family zero, about 3100-2940 BC) and early families (about 2960-2649 BC), and it is currently shown in the ground floor of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, to give visitors a rare opportunity to discover one of the treasures of ancient Egyptian civilization related to daily life.
