Female dancer from Deir el-Medina
This limestone ostracon was discovered in the famous Workers Village of Deir el-Medina. Dating from approximately, 1292–1076 B.C., this piece was created within the 19th or 20th Dynasty.
Deir el-Medina (Set Ma’at) was a workman’s village, which was state commissioned and owned. The artisans and architects who would design and build the tombs of the royals and elite would live there for many centuries with their families.
Discovered in the workers’ village of Deir el-Medina, this ostracon measures approximately 17 cm in width, 11.5 cm in height, and 4 cm in depth. It was acquired by the museum in 1824 from Bernardino Drovetti, a prominent French diplomat and collector.
Now in the Egyptian Museum of Turin. Cat. 7052
