Egypt
Daily Photo: British Museum
Back to archaeology today. I arrived in town a bit early for the theatre last night, so I thought I might as well go and kill some time in the British Museum (London, U.K.). Here are a couple of photos that I took. I arrived at around 4.30pm (an hour before the upper galleries close) and the museum was much less chaotic than usual, without the usual gaggle of visitors and uncontrolled children. Everything is dominated at the moment by the Terracotta Army exhibition (including the bookshop). I was fiddling with a new lens, so here are a couple of photographs of one of my favourite artefacts in the museum.
A limestone relief from the mastaba tomb of Urirenptah in Saqqara, dating to the 5th Dynasty (c.2100BC). Urirenptah was a preistly official of the Sun Temple of King Neferirkare, and the complete scene, from which these are details, show work being carried out on his estate.
