ملاحظات	Flat, stylised figure carved from bone, thought to be a child's doll.
Tarihsel bağlam	Flat, stylised figurines with vertical grooves that divide the body are not unknown from post-pharaonic Egypt. Similar examples have been dated to the seventh or eighth centuries (Catalogue Hamm 1996, no. 203) or to the seventh to ninth centuries (Catalogue Paris 2000, no. 268). Frequently, they are interpreted as children's toys. It has, however, been suggested that they have a different meaning and may represent fertility idols. Whatever their significance, they seem to have survived into the ninth to tenth centuries, therefore spanning both the Coptic and Islamic Periods (Catalogue Hamm 1996, 202). It is possible that the patterns cut into the surface may be significant, possibly for good luck or protection to its owner.
Malzemeler ve teknikler	Carved bone Bone Carving
Fiziksel açıklama	Flat figure, carved from a single piece of bone, with rigid legs and a hole at each shoulder to attach arms (these are missing). Any facial features it may once have had have been worn away. The top of the head is square and flat, with a square block on each side of the face which may represent an ear or the edge of a headdress. The back of the figure is unmarked and the grain of the bone is clearly visible.
