durom.1967.6 | 1967.6.jpg | data/raw/images/oriental/1967 | Print of a Luohan (Lohan/Arhat), made in imitation of rubbing of a stele. The Luohan is the Taming Dragon Luohan (Chinese: 降龙罗汉, pinyin: Xianglong Luohan), who is said to have tamed the ocean dragon and withdraw the Buddhist scripts which had been captured by the dragon. The figure is pictured standing on a lotus throne and in the centre of a rectangular stele. Over the head of the Luohan there is a dragon flying. It is depicted with trifurcated tail, and both four-claw and five-claw. By the right of the image there is a 6-character inscription saying "Taming Dragon Luohan made in the Tang dynasty (618-907 CE)", albeit the date is almost certainly wrong. At the right foot of the image there is a small, red seal mark. | prints | null | 14Ink on Paper

durom.1999.52 | 1999.52.1-d6.jpg | data/raw/images/egyptian/1999 | Mummified boy in anthropoidal form, no coffin . The figure is simply wrapped and the head is featureless, the head has also detached from the body. The head is badly stained, almost black in fact presumably stained by resin. It also has some damage to the top of the skull, a small chip on the back of the head has revealed a hole in both the wrappings and the skull, through which the skull is just visible. The body is wrapped simply, in a coiled pattern with the result that the outer wrappings consist of one long single strand. Decorating the body is a hieratic text, presumably a funeral text, the text completely covers the body back and front. The condition of the piece is, apart from the detatached skull, pretty good; the body wrappings are clean and the ink inscription is clear. There is small object, possibly bone, visible in the picture, that has been placed in a plastic box with the mummy. There are two necklaces of cylindrical blue, cream, yellow, dark blue, red and green faience beads associated with the mummy. The necklaces have been packed separately in storage. | mummies | child mummy | 79flax

eg501 | eg501.jpg | data/raw/images/egyptian/eg | False-door stela with cavetto cornice, with an akhet-hieroglyph in the centre. The jams and lintels are inscribed with offering texts to Osiris, Anubis, Re-Harakhty, Atum and Hathor on behalf of the Chief of the Retainers Amenemheb on the left jamb and Pakherkhau ('the Syrian') on the right. This may be another name for Amenemheb. In the offering text Hathor is called Lady of the Southern Sycamore, an epithet also applied to Isis-Hathor in the central scene. This is the Hathor of Memphis, which gives a provenance to this stelae to a tomb in the Memphite area, probably at Saqqara. There are two baboons adoring the rising sun on the cornice. In the central panel or niche are two registers. The upper register depicts the Overseer of the Treasury Tia and his wife the Overseer of the Harim of Re and King's Sister Tia adoring a seated Osiris and standing Isis-Hathor, Lady of the Southern Sycamore. In the lower register the scribe Rudef and his father Pakherkhau, here only given the title the Retainer, kneel before Hathor in her cow form on a dais. This is a very unusual form for Hathor on stelae outside of Thebes, but is found in tombs at Saqqara. On either side Amenemheb stands adoring with offering texts above. The relationship of the two Tia's and Amenemheb may be a professional one. It has been suggested that this Amenemheb is the father of the famous Deir el-Medinah tomb scribe Ramose, who also depicts Hathor lady of the Southern Sycamore on two of his monuments, a form of Hathor alien to Thebes. | false doors | Funerary stela | 103limestone

duruc.1924.42 | duruc.1924.42_pc_rr.jpg | data/raw/images/castle/1924 | One triple-indicator electric annunciator box used in Castle to signal "warden", "secretary", or "treasurer". This device most likely was used to indicate in staff areas; similar items were catalogued in the Bursar's spare bedroom and sitting room in the Castle's 1924 inventory. Similar items are also sometimes known as bell box, call box, servant bell/call box, bulters bell/call box. Flags move when the circuit is closed via push button, likely originally wired to an external bell mechanism._x000D__x000D_

It is comprised of a varnished (excluding front interior and back exterior) wood box (possibly oak or mahoghany; solid wood front, plywood back), housing a black and gold painted glass front that is held in place by a small wooden rail nailed to its top. The box opens from right to left with the release of a latch to reveal the inner wiring and circuitry of its indicator mechanisms; this latch is also supported by a wood peg. The inner circuitry is missing 1 of its 3 electro-magnetic coils and its associated indicator; the other two remain largely complete, including their indicator cards, featuring a single red 6-point star on each. Additional holes drilled into the case suggests another cupreous strip or wire may have been present previously in addition to the missing indicator mechanism; because these holes penetrate the back panel (unlike the present indicator screws), it is also possible this was where the item attached to an external bell-mechanism (or to the wall itself). The glass paint features designation for each indicator, reading "warden", "secretary", and "treasurer"; there is evidence the glass paint was touched up previously using a glossy, rather than its original flat, paint on the interior front (back of glass). Its iron (or ferrous-alloy) joints/hingest are largely complete (missing one screw) and functioning. Warping of the wood has created gaps between its border joints and do not allow its top to sit flush with its back board nor flatly when set on a flat surface (tilting slightly). The back is stamped GEC initials around magnet logo; this is associated with The General Electric Company of Britain, having used this magnet logo from 1890s-1920s. | bells | Annunciator, bell box, call box, servant bell, butlers bell | 176wood
