An Apprentice's Board from DRA ABU EL-Naga *

Abstract

A wooden board used for drawing and writing was found in pieces by the Spanish–Egyptian mission at Dra Abu el-Naga (TT 11–12). It probably dates to the reign of Hatshepsut–Thutmosis III. On the recto there is a double drawing of a royal standing statue in frontal view. The two figures are drawn on squared grids traced in red ink. Next to the drawing exercise the first paragraph of Kemit has been written three times. On the left half of the verso a pharaoh is drawn in the posture of fowling, while the right half of the surface has been washed for re-use.
