Greyish-brown mould for amulet. The cavity design is of the deity Bes beating a tambourine or drum. The mould cavity still contains a little of the white paste. Rounded back to mould. Compare with W M Flinders Petrie, Tell el-Amarna (London, 1894), plate XX, no. 521.

If the material was confused for stone it could be "stone mould of Bes with cymbals" from 1931 excavation division.

Excavated by the Egypt Exploration Society in 1931. Acquired by the EES in the division of finds. Donated to the East Anglia Egyptian Society by the EES in recognition of a contribution to the EES (excavation subscription). Donated to Norwich Castle Museum. Purchased from the collections of Norwich Castle Museum in 1956 by Liverpool City Museum (now World Museum).
