This razor, which had been carefully wrapped in strips of linen, was found in a basket in the tomb of Hatnfer, the mother of Senenmut (see 36.3.1). Razors made entirely of metal were common in the Middle Kingdom and into Dynasty 18. Razors like Hatnofer's, which combine a blade and a wooden handle, appear for the first time in that dynasty.
Excavated by the Egyptian Expedition of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1935–1936. Acquired by the Museum in the division of finds, 1936.
