What remains after the 1906 earthquake flattened Stanford’s museum is a puzzle of missing pieces, never to be completed. Among hundreds of fragments, we find: bright flower-shaped patterns, depictions of four funerary gods, and writing scrawled onto the cartonnage. The Demotic inscription reads: “May her name be rejuvenated every day.” In recognizing her name in this exhibit, we hope to rejuvenate her spirit.plain2019-06-05T09:09:39-07:00ca. 100 BCE-100 CEPhysical objectObject ID 22231Archaeology; AfricaPigment; felted flax; linen; plasterStanford UniversityPurchased by Jane Lathrop Stanford from N.
