Model Carpenter\u2019s Adze from Hatshepsut\u2019s Temple<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, ca. 1479\u20131458 B.C., joint reign of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III.<\/p>\n

From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Deir el-Bahri, Temple of Hatshepsut, Foundation Deposit 1 (A), Egypt Exploration Fund, 1894\u201395.<\/p>\n

Wood, bronze or copper alloy, leather<\/p>\n

L. of handle 19.6 cm (7 11\/16 in.) L. of blade 15.7 cm (6 3\/16 in.); W. 5.3 cm (2 1\/16 in.)<\/p>\n

The handle of this adze is inscribed \u201cThe Good God, Maatkare, beloved of Amun, foremost of Djeser-Djeseru.\u201d Maatkare was the throne name of the female pharaoh Hatshepsut, and Djeser-Djeseru (Holy of Holies) was the name of her mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri. The adze was uncovered in one of the temple\u2019s foundation deposits by the Museum\u2019s Egyptian Expedition. Although the adze is full-size and appears to be functional, the blade is too thin to be used for cutting and, like most of the tools discovered in foundation deposits, this is a model.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
