Enlarge Faience Ox Fore-Leg “Khepesh”, New Kingdom, 1550-1050 BC

Ox fore-Leg “khepesh”, rich green faience, New Kingdom, 1550-1050 BC, 34mm, Choice & rare

Andrews 92g listed as 18th Dynasty. Posible foundation deposit. (See Below) - Andrews: “the foreleg or khepesh is always shown being presented to the mummy, having just been cut from a still-bleating and still-bleeding calf. Amulets in the shape of the khepesh itself have never been found in a funerary context, only in foundation deposits or perhaps as an inlay hieroglyphic sign.”

Egyptian Museum has several examples used as foundation deposits. Cf case 224. Part of a foundation deposit. Temple of Septah, Taousrit at the Ramesseum, Thebes, 19th Dynasty. Egyptian Museum catalog number C16221, 22, and 23.
