Molds could be used to make multiple iterations of the same object, as seen with the mold for a fish amulet, while small models offered a physical example of an individual, object, or animal that could be replicated by numerous craftsmen at once. Some of these are more schematic, offering only a rough approximation of a form, while others are more precise, such as the model for the head of a pharaoh, which features the proper proportions, marked out on a grid, on the back of the head. There also survive examples of practice, where similar animals or bodies were repeatedly carved into stone as their makers perfected their technique.\n</p>\n<p>\n\t<br />\n</p>","remarks":"MED_22_ADJ-3_CLA-Day 1 Cataloguing (group chat for 2016-615, y1955-3253, y1948-53, y1949-109, y1951-73, y1042, y1948-9, y1937-359 a-b) "}],"datebegin":-1350,"sortnumber":"2016  615","published_date":"2026-04-11 02:00:04.275835","objectid":1554,"dimensions":"19.5 × 24 × 4 cm (7 11/16 × 9 7/16 × 1 9/16 in.)\r\nincluding mount: 23 × 26 × 10 cm (9 1/16 × 10 1/4 × 3 15/16 in.)","on_view":true}
