There's that glowering "eye with paint" hieroglyph meaning "watch", in the name of the crocodile "He Who Watches What He Would Seize", one of my favourite characters in the Book of the Dead. The designs and hieroglyphs are painted directly onto the mummy linen.

Where: Medelhavsmuseet, Stockholm

When: New Kingdom

I was in Stockholm yesterday and visited The Museum of Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiquities. One of my favorite museums in Stockholm.

The “Cyprus through the Ages” Collection at Medelhavsmuseet in Stockholm. This exhibit covers 7000 years of Cypriot archaeological history, with special focus on excavations at Ayia Irini/Akdeniz.

The Swedish Cyprus Exhibition lasted between 1927 to 1931. The findings of the exhibition were divided between Sweden and the British colonial government of Cyprus. The other part of the collection can now be found at the Cyprus Museum in Nicosia.

Special thanks to @cypriot_music on Instagram for the submission!

The collection at Medelhavsmuseet is still ongoing, and if you have the opportunity to visit Stockholm, consider checking out this exhibit!

Finds at the Sanctuary of Agia Eirini, Cyprus.

A chance discovery by the Swedish Cyprus Expedition in 1929, led to the excavation of this cultural treasure, the sanctuary of Agia Eirini, in the north-west coast of Cyprus, in use between the Late Bronze Age (1650-1050 BCE) and the end of the 6th ce BCE. The uncovered open- air shrine revealed an astounding 2,000 clay votive figurines, larger than life-size human figures, alongside sphinxes, minotaurs, priests with bull-masks, and horse drawn chariots, such as the one pictured. They were placed as votive offerings in concentric semi-circles around a limestone altar within the large open court of the sanctuary. These clay figures are the most compete representation ever found of Cypriot society of this period.

About two-thirds of the unique archaeological finds are now the core of the Cypriot collections of the Stockholm Medelhavsmuseet. 500 figurines remain in Cyprus and are one of the cultural treasures in the Archaeological Museum of Nicosia.

Relief with Tutu by Heidi Kontkanen, who writes: “Relief with the god Tutu depicted as a lion with a nemes headdress and the tail of a snake. Graeco-Roman Period, no provenance. MM 10003 Medelhavsmuseet, Stockholm.”

(This is S-19 in The Egyptian God Tutu by Olaf Kaper, who points out the double-headed axe and the knives held by the god’s paws.)
