Doorzoek de collectie van het Rijksmuseum van Oudheden
Meer dan 140.000 voorwerpen uit de collectie van het Rijksmuseum van Oudheden kunt u online bekijken via deze zoekpagina. De database wordt maandelijks uitgebreid en omvat objecten uit alle verzamelgebieden van het museum: het oude Egypte, de Klassieke wereld (Grieken, Romeinen en Etrusken), het oude Nabije Oosten en het vroege Nederland (tot 1500). Veel voorwerpen uit de database staan niet in het museum opgesteld. Dat kan verschillende oorzaken hebben: veel objecten worden bewaard in het depot, en sommige zijn uitgeleend aan andere musea of voor studie-doeleinden uit de opstelling gehaald.

Kekoe ; wade ; kruisbanden ; kralennet
Kekoe ; wade ; kruisbanden ; kralennet; mummie Mummy of an adult, wrapped in bandages of rather coarse linen which have been applied in spiral fashion. They are fairly wide, torn from a larger cloth, and pale in colour. The bandages are covered in a shroud of reddish linen (medium-fine warp-faced tabby weave, about 12 x 24 threads/cm2), which shows some water stains over the head and feet and has damaged patches at the feet and sides. The shroud leaves a wide gap along the centre of the back, through which the underlying bandages can be seen. It is held in place by a number of linen straps, 2.0-2.8 cm wide with the edges folded double (about 9 x 22 threads/cm2): a broad band (w. 5.0 cm) along the frontal axis, transverse straps around the head, the hips, the knees, the ankles (double), and the insteps, and a crossed stola over the torso. The transverse straps show knots at the back, the strap over the insteps has a knot under the soles of the feet. On top of the shroud lies a bead net of 105 x 43.5 cm. This consists of cylinder beads of bright blue and dark blue faience (length 1.1-1.5 cm), forming rhombic cells with blue barrel beads at the crossings. The edges of the net are not reinforced in any way, the lower edge has fringes of two cylinders and one barrel bead each. The upper edge of the net forms two rectangular protrusions on the shoulders and a square recess in the centre. The following elements are fixed on top of the net: - a blue frit scarab (5.8 x 3.7 cm) with detailed back and plain undersurface, provided with wings (total width 19 cm) in mosaic work of bright blue disc beads. The tips of the wings have a feather pattern of alternating strips of black and dark blue, with lines of yellow beads in between; - four antithetic images of the Sons of Horus, mummiform with indistinct heads. The bodies are made of mosaic work of similar bright blue discs. Three faces are made of yellow beads, one figure apparently has a pale green face.

Mummie van Anamonnefneb met kralennet
mummie; Anamonnefneb ; wade ; kruisbanden ; kralennet The mummy has been wrapped in a shroud of vaguely reddish colour (warp-faced tabby weave, about 11 x 17 threads/cm2), which shows a fourfold self-band where it is tucked in under the feet. There is a wide gap along the centre of the back, through which one can see the regular transverse bandages of the layer underneath. The shroud is held in place by a number of straps of folded linen, 2.9-3.4 cm wide: around the head, hips, knees, and just above the ankles, with the diagonal bands of a stola over the torso. There are three windings of a broad bandage (6.0 cm wide) around the insteps, with one loop passing under the soles of the feet, likewise over the shroud. On top of the shroud lies a bead net of 151 cm long and 51.5 cm wide. It is mainly composed of blue faience cylinder beads (0.6 cm long), forming rhomboid cells, with blue twin rings on the crossings. The upper edge of the net has been reinforced by a triple border of ring beads, forming alternating strips of red, white, and blue. The lower edge has a fringe with tufts of two cylinders and a twin ring each. The following elements of bead mosaic have been inserted in the network: - a winged scarab on the throat (14 x 37.5 cm): beetle in black ring beads, with details in yellow, red, and green, on a white ground; inner zone of wings with lozenge patterns in blue, red, green, black and yellow; two ranges of feathers black, blue and green with red tips and white or yellow outlines; - a collar on the chest (12 x 24.5 cm): alternating ranges of blue and red cylinder beads (length 1.3 and 0.7 cm, respectively); - a winged goddess on the abdomen (16 x 26.5 cm): Hathor crown (cow horns and disk), wig and eye black, face yellow, neck and wings blue, green, yellow, red, and black, with feathers blue and black with red tips and white outlines; - four antithetic Sons of Horus on the thighs (h. 18 cm): wigs and eyes black, faces white or yellow, bodies with strips of blue, black, red and yellow; - a column of tekst on the lower legs (41.5 x 5.5 cm): hieroglyphs black, yellow, red and green on a blue and white ground, with edges in blue and red. Tekst: 'an offering which the King gives to Osiris, Lord of Aby[dos], may he grant a good burial.'

onbekende ; wade
onbekende ; wade; mummie Mummy of an adult, wrapped in a shroud of pale grey (probably bleached) linen (medium-fine warp-faced tabby weave, about 13 x 28 threads/cm2). This shroud is much damaged along the sides and back, and so are the inner bandages. A rectangular piece of linen (35 x 50 cm) stuck on behind the shoulders must be a modern restoration and was removed in 2002; underneath, the bandages had been damaged down to the spine. Both lateral edges of the shroud meet along the centre of the back, where the excess width has been ruffled together. One of these edges has a proper selvage, accompanied by a 1.5 cm wide blue band with four red stripes. Part of this decorative band has been torn loose to serve as a strap for securing the shroud into position. To this end, a series of rough holes was cut along both meeting edges of the shroud and the strap was laced through these in zigzag fashion. The internal bone structure of the neck and thorax is much disturbed, and the head has become detached of the body. A recent restoration (2002) allowed a partial inspection of the bandages under the shroud. These consist of fine yellowish-brown bands of c. 16-23 cm wide, torn from larger sheets and applied cross-wise over the chest and shoulders. They have been manufactured in medium-fine linen (warp-faced tabby weave, about 13 x 34 threads/cm2). One band on the left-hand side of the chest ends in long knotted fringes (16 cm long) and has a hieratic docket in black ink written across the end (translation by R.J. Demarée: mnxt-textile (?) made in (?) year 24 […] the high-priest of Amun Oso[rkon]), with a weaver's mark of five parallel lines forming a triangular pattern above. The layer under these wide and fine bandages is more diverse. Longitudinal bandages can be seen along the sides of the ankles and at the left side of the neck. The head shows a number of narrower bandages (about 6 cm wide), the feet have two strips of coarse linen with rolled and whipped hems plus a U-shaped roll of cloth over the insteps, with a square sheet of cloth folded over this. Both the head and the feet show a brown and gritty layer of resin (with fine straw or chaff?) covering the inner bandages. The end of a 'stola' of red and yellow leather was found to rest on top of this gritty layer at the level of the left clavicle; unfortunately, this did not show any stamped inscriptions or decoration. During repairs to the neck area, a folded roll of cloth was found lying on the ventral side of the throat, with another roll of twisted linen encircling the neck.

windsels ; onbekende
windsels ; onbekende; mummie Mummy of a child, covered with the shreds of a much decayed shroud of natural linen (medium-fine tabby weave, about 15 x 30 threads/cm2). The shroud was folded around the head and feet and displays a vertical edge along the right side of the back. It cannot be ascertained anymore how the shroud was fixed. Two rectangular pieces of fine linen have been stuck transversely over the back of the shoulders (11 x 30 cm) and the calves (7.5 x 16.5 cm), perhaps during a modern restoration. Through the holes of the shroud it can be seen that underneath the mummy is wrapped in bandages of medium-fine linen which have been applied in spiral fashion. They are rather narrow, with a protruding part of about 1.5-2.5 cm. These bandages are covered with a black resinous varnish. A large hole on the chest and throat shows other bandages of natural linen below, which follow a diagonal pattern over the shoulders. There is also a circular hole in the top of the skull (diam. c. 3 cm). The lower legs of the mummy are rather loose.

Hor ; wade ; kruisbanden ; kralennet
mummie; Hor ; wade ; kruisbanden ; kralennet De collectie van Giovanni d'Anastasy die in 1828 door het museum is aangekocht, bevatte een groot aantal houten mummiekisten en sarcofagen waarvan enkele zelfs nog de oorspronkelijke gemummificeerde eigenaar bevatten. Dit exemplaar werd geleverd in twee houten mummiekisten die in elkaar passen. De buitenste lijkwade is oranje van kleur en verwijst naar de ondergaande zon. De wade wordt op zijn plaats gehouden door zes horizontale en twee diagonale banden. De mummie is bedekt met een kralennet dat de hemel moet voorstellen. In het net zijn een halskraag, een gevleugelde scarabee en de vier beschermende Horuszonen verwerkt. Röntgenonderzoek heeft aangetoond dat Hor nog jong was toen hij stierf. Het skelet is nog intact, de tanden zijn allemaal aanwezig en er is geen spoor te vinden van ziekte of verminking. (FM) Mummy of an adult. The bandages are fully covered by a plain shroud of faded red linen, damaged at the feet and along the sides (modern stitching). The linen is a medium-fine warp-faced tabby weave (about 12 x 21 threads/cm2). The rectangular shroud is folded around the front of the body but leaves a tapering gap at the rear. The edges are finished with a rolled and whipped hem and stitched onto the underlying bandages (this may be modern). These bandages are of plain linen, applied horizontally with varying protruding width (4-10 cm wide). The shroud is held in position by a number of linen straps of 2-4 cm wide, consisting of medium-fine linen (11 x 30 threads/cm2) which have been folded double lengthwise: six transverse bands passing around the forehead (a double strap), shoulders, abdomen, thighs, knees, and ankles; plus a stola crossed over the chest and passing over the shoulders. These straps show knots at the centre of the back. On top of the shroud lies a bead net of mainly dark blue faience beads, extending from the shoulders to just above the ankles. This is rectangular in shape (long 111 cm, wide 32.5 cm). It is constructed of cylinder beads (average length 1.5 cm) forming lozenge-shaped cells, with barrel beads at the crossings (alternating ranges of bright greenish blue and red). The upper border has a concave neck-line set off with a collar of four ranges of cylinders (alternating ranges of blue and red). The sides and lower edge consist of a simple string. The lateral edges are further accentuated by the use of highly glossy beads, unlike the dull beads of the rest of the net, with 3-6 white ring beads at the crossings. The monotony of blue lozenges is further broken by ranges of cream and yellow beads (cream: lateral strips in the 7th, 11th, and 30th row, central strips in rows 8-9; yellow: full-width in rows 15 and 22, central position in rows 24-25). The following elements have been fixed on top of the bead net: on the chest a blue frit scarab with incised details and extended wings of mosaic work (horizontal ranges of white, yellow, red, and blue disc beads, with blue and red only along the wing tips); over the thighs silhouette figures of the four Sons of Horus, all facing right and manufactured in white faience with black eyes and purple cross straps. The facial details of these figurines are incised in a rather crude style.

Mummiekleed van Sensaos
Sensaos; lijkwade; mummiekleed; linnen Rectangular shroud of natural linen (212 x 102 cm), consisting of rather coarse plain tabby weave (roughly 14 x 16 threads/cm2, but no accurate count possible due to the present display). This shroud has some water damage along the lower end but is otherwise in a remarkable state of preservation; is has received a backing of plain cloth during a modern restoration. The centre is decorated with a depiction of the deceased identified with Hathor, painted in black, white, red, orange, pale blue, and dark green; the latter pigment must have been so acid that it has destroyed the linen wherever it was applied. Otherwise, there are only some minor holes and tears. The deceased is portrayed as a full-length standing figure in frontal view. The wide black wig has a fillet with indistinct patterns in green and pendent streamers. The ear ornaments are shaped like serpent protomes. The deceased is wearing an ankle-long sleeved dress, the upper part of which is decorated with vertical bands of various designs (vines in black on orange, hatched bands with two rosettes over the breasts in pale blue, guilloche patterns on a green ground framing the central slit) with a three-range collar around the throat. The short sleeves are white with horizontal bands on the cuffs and a X-shaped design above. The lower part of the dress has a checked pattern, with alternating bands of blue, natural, and green; there is a central column of hieroglyphs with a protective formula for the deceased. The arms are stretched down, with serpent bracelets of Hellenistic type. The feet are likewise stretched down, with an indication of sandal straps. To each side of the feet there is an Anubis jackal in black, seated on a plinth with a key strapped to its neck and an offering stand in front. The legs are flanked by two strips of roundels and guilloche patterns. This figure is flanked by several vignettes of deities and protective symbols, separated from each other by shallow plinths similar to those of the jackals. Left from top to bottom: (1) serpent with legs; (2) kneeling goddess offering cup, with bouquet behind; (3) coiled serpent; (4) Isis protecting Osiris; (5) Thoth writing, with bouquet behind; (6) tyet between two twisted vines; (7) falcon-headed genius (Qebehsenuef?) offering cloth, with bouquet behind; (8) bull-headed genius kneeling with knife, bouquet behind; (9) large formal bouquet consisting of lotus flower flanked by two buds. Right: identical, except for (4) Anubis holding standing mummy; (5) Ammut with flail and two knives; (6) djed between two twisted vines; (7) similar genius but head lost (black skin: Duamutef?); (8) crocodile-headed genius. Clearly, some of these elements are derived from representations of Book of the Dead chapter 125 and depictions of the day bark and night bark of the sun god, as occurring on the lid of Sensaos' coffin.

krokodil
krokodil The central area of the animal's back has been covered with a gridded pattern of thin strips of doubled linen (medium-fine warp-faced tabby weave, about 14 x 36 threads/cm2). The extant remains comprise four longitudinal overlapping strips along the sides and seven over the spine; the areas in between once had a fill of dark brown linen, of which only remains are still visible. Of the transverse elements there are only two strips of natural linen over the foremost part of the back; both show that originally there was a broader strip of dark brown linen under this, and there must have been more of these transverse bands, now completely lost. The corresponding area of the ventral side has lost its outer sheet by decay and merely shows various diagonal bandages which have much darkened by decay. The head is wrapped in dark brown cloth, fixed by means of a concentric band of natural linen around the neck (doubled, width 0.5 cm) and by several windings of yarn. The eyes have been modelled; it cannot be assessed whether any appliques were once present. The tail is straight; the whole rear end has been wrapped in concentric bandages of rather coarse natural linen (about 9 x 24 threads/cm2), with traces of at least two transverse straps of dark brown cloth.

Pawiamen ; wade ; kralennet
Pawiamen ; wade ; kralennet; mummie Mummy of an adult. The bandages are applied in concentric patterns, with only a small protruding edge per winding. They are fairly wide, torn from a larger cloth, and pale in colour. One bandage behind the right shoulder has a multiple self-band and long fringes. These bandages are covered by the remains of a faded and damaged shroud, originally doubtless red in colour, which is tucked in over the sides but leaves a wide gap along the centre of the back. The linen of the shroud is a medium-fine warp-faced tabby weave (about 16 x 21 threads/cm2). The shroud is held in position by several bands of c. 3 cm wide and of a slightly coarser linen (11 x 23 threads/cm2): a longitudinal one over the front, transverse straps around the forehead, the hips, the knees, the ankles, and the insteps (double), a crossed stola over the torso and another cross over the shins. Several of these bands show knots at the back. On top of the shroud lies a bead net of mainly dark green faience beads, extending from the shoulders to the shins; according to Leemans, the net was restored in the museum. It is rectangular in shape (long 108 cm, wide 32.5 cm). The net is constructed of cylinder beads (average length 1.5-1.6 cm) forming rhomboid cells, with yellow ring beads at the crossings. The upper border has a concave neck-line set off with a collar of four ranges of cylinders (ranges of pale blue/dark blue/dark green, yellow, again various hues of blue and green, and finally red). The sides and lower edge of the net consist of a simple string (triple thread for the lower border). The monotony of dark green lozenges is broken moreover by ranges of yellow or pale green beads (lateral strips in the 6th, 10th, 21st, and 29th row; central strips in rows 7-8 and 23-24; full-width in rows 14, 38, 42, 46, 50, 54, and 58-61, with a dark blue band in row 62 below). The following elements have been fixed on top of the bead net: on the chest a blue frit scarab (8.5 x 5.5 cm) with incised details and extended wings of mosaic work (w. 21.5 cm, ranges of white, yellow, red, and blue double-disc beads, with the wing tips predominantly blue); over the thighs antithetic mosaic figures of the four Sons of Horus, all with identical heads (wigs blue, faces red and yellow) and with bodies striped red, blue and yellow.

windsels ; Keref
windsels ; Keref; mummie; kind This is the mummy of a child, rather heavy and quite hard to the touch which indicates the use of resin. Considerable portions of the exterior wrappings are indeed coated with a black substance. These are in a bad state of preservation and the lacunas show an underlying layer of natural linen, which has however been coated with a similar black material on the inside. The linen is of various qualities, from rather coarse to medium-fine. Over the resin-coated wrappings lies a large sheet which covers the whole back and part of the sides; this consists of rather fine warp-faced tabby weave (about 16 x 40 threads/cm2). On the front, however, the black wrappings have been overlaid by a longitudinal band (4.7 cm wide, 10 x 32 threads/cm2) and by several cross-straps of 2.0-3.8 cm width which pass over the sheet covering the back: four X-shaped pairs over the throat, chest, waist, and hips, two single transverse straps around the thighs and knees. All straps have torn edges and are not folded over along the margins. A peculiar bandage of natural linen is folded over the left side of the head; this is about 15 cm wide and shows a flat seam.

Ta(net)charoe of Tadis ; windsels
Ta(net)charoe of Tadis ; windsels Mummy of an adult, remarkable by its restricted width. The internal structure is apparently rather damaged, allowing some movement in the region of the waist. The bandages covering the feet are applied crosswise (transverse over the soles of the feet); these bandages are fairly narrow (c. 5.5 cm wide). The wrappings over the legs and abdomen are applied spirally, with only a small protruding width of about 4-5 cm. They are fairly wide (about 14 cm, torn from a larger cloth) and pale in colour. There is one loose end lying over the front of the lower legs. The head and upper part of the body are again covered with intertwining bandages applied crosswise, with a protruding width of c. 8 cm. Over the nose, the bandages are slightly damaged, whereas there are water stains over the face, chest, and right knee. On the back the linen is slightly darker, with several water stains and damaged patches. There is a yellowish crust adhering to the linen under both shoulders, knees, and ankles; probably this originates from the internal lining of the coffin or cartonnage in which the mummy was deposited. The linen is a medium-fine warp-faced tabby weave (12 x 26 threads/cm2, but slightly coarser, 10 x 24 threads/cm2, for the loose end over the shins).

lam
lam; mummie The mummy depicts an animal lying with the legs folded under the body and the head held upright. The head is still largely covered by a single piece of fine linen of natural colour (fine warp-faced tabby weave, about 17 x 54 threads/cm2), fixed around the neck with an overlap on the occiput. Details of the eyes (rims, pupils, brows) and nostrils have been painted onto the headcloth in black. A separate strip of linen marked with two black lines was applied for the mouth. Two damaged spots betray the original presence of ears or horns applied as rolls of dark brown linen protruding through a circular opening cut in the headcloth. The front and sides of the chest has been decorated with a plaited pattern of alternating strips of natural and dark brown linen (edges doubled, width 0.7-1.1 cm); due to the decayed state of the dark linen the original pattern cannot be seen anymore. The rest of the body, including the undersurface, was originally covered in a single sheet of natural linen of the same quality as the headcloth. Both the headcloth and the sheet covering the body have water stains and grey discolourations; a green line over the body betrays the former presence of a copper wire (doubtless modern). The exterior cover is now much damaged and shows parts of the underlying layers of coarser textile. The various layers have apparently been glued in position, with some rough stitches in places.

The bandages are frayed and damaged and have a number of dark stains. They appear to be stuck by means of gum arabic or a similar substance. There is no trace of an outer sheet; the bundle is now covered in modern gauze.

krokodil
krokodil ; mummie The central area of the animal's body has been wrapped in a single sheet of medium-fine linen (warp-faced tabby weave, about 11 x 26 threads/cm2), much decayed on the ventral side where the irregular and dark-stained interior layers are partly visible. A separate rectangular piece of linen was then laid over the back, having doubled edges at both sides. The head is much decayed but was originally finished in dark brown linen, only small remains of which are extant. The interior layers are irregular, secured by windings of yarn. The eyes have been modelled as protruding ridges; the left eye still has an applique of natural linen with a black painted iris, the right eye has preserved part of its rims in strips of doubled linen. The tail is straight; the whole rear end has been wrapped in concentric bandages of rather coarse natural linen wound in spiral fashion from front to back, with traces of dark brown cloth over these bandages. There is some white paint (modern) at the end of the tail. The body has been wrapped in fine gauze during a recent restoration.
