Treasures from Tell Basta: Goddesses, Officials, and Artists in an International Age

Abstract

“The Tell Basta Treasure” is the generally used designation for the gold and silver vessels and jewelry discovered in 1906 at Tell Basta, the ancient Bubastis, in the eastern section of the Egyptian Delta. . . .Aside from the intrinsic interest of the treasure, it has aroused considerable discussion among non-Egyptologists because of the possible Asiatic origin of some of the objects and among Egyptologists because of the general uncertainty which prevails as to the date of the treasure. Since the decorated patera from the find is a forerunner of the “Phoenician” paterae of a later date, the treasure has long been familiar to the classical archaeologist.
