This right angled leg comes from a small jar support. The jar would have been supported in a wooden cup and projecting from its side would have been three right angled legs. There is the remains of a broken tenon on the legs shortest element while the foot of the leg is finished with a characteristic hoof. This is carefully incised with two bands of decoration.


Marked in ink "Egypt" (similar in style to ceramic cup 1973.4.344 ex WHMM 125535).

CONDITION NOTE (1998): Incomplete, splitting, surface dirt.

Wellcome Historical Medical Museum accession no. 13357; Purchased at Sotheby's, London, 26 June - 6 July 1922 (MacGregor collection), Lot number not recorded.
