Abstract

"During the 2017 and 2018 campaigns at Dra Abu el-Naga, six paddle dolls were discovered by the Spanish archaeological mission inside a Middle Kingdom tomb (EU 1018) and its courtyard, southwest of the entrance to the courtyard of the tomb of Djehuty (TT 11). Although they were found in plundered levels related to ancient grave robbery, they come from a funerary archaeological context in which there is also evidence of the period. Several of these female figurines stand out especially for their iconographic motives, unique examples of this type not documented in other paddle dolls. This study presents an overall assessment of these unpublished female figurines and contributes to our deepening knowledge"
