This figurine is from the tomb of Hor-wedja, discovered in 1890 by the pioneering English archaeologist Sir W.M.F. Petrie in the Faiyum region of Egypt. The tomb yielded the best-preserved, bestdocumented, and highest-quality group of funerary figurines known. The inscription reads in part: “The servant of the goddess Neith, the priest Hor-wedja, born of Shedet.”
