Shrine fragment with lion
Third Intermediate Period–Late Period
Not on view
One of three fragments likely from the same miniature shrine, this horizontal bar, perhaps part of a door bolt, is topped with a crouching lion. These fragments were found in a Middle Kingdom tomb that had been re-used in the Third Intermediate Period and later for intrusive burials.
