Diagnostic physical methods are increasingly applied to Cultural Heritage both for scientific investigations and conservation purposes. In particular, the X-ray imaging techniques of computed tomography (CT) digital radiography (DR) non-destructive investigation study an object, being able give information on its inner structure. this paper, we present results ancient Egyptian statuette (Late Period 722-30 BCE) belonging collection Museo Egizio in Torino representing goddess called Taweret,...

Abstract Commonly exhibited in museum galleries, animal mummies have been the focus of interest both visitors and researchers alike. The study these remains not only provides new insights into embalming techniques, but also brings a unique perspective on religious, social economic practices. Twenty are discussed this study, including cats, ibises, crocodiles, calves birds prey from collections British Museum (London, UK) Museo Egizio (Turin, Italy). external textile wrappings encasing...

Abstract Artifacts from the Egyptian grave goods of Kha and Merit preserved at Museo Egizio in Turin were studied through a combination non‐destructive non‐invasive neutron gamma techniques (namely imaging, diffraction prompt activation analysis). The results provide unprecedented morphological reconstructions inner parts two alabaster metallic vases their isotopic phase composition, thereby extending our knowledge hitherto unknown content functions.

The Museo Egizio in Turin holds numerous artefacts found at Giza during archaeological excavations conducted by Ernesto Schiaparelli February 1903. Among the material from Late Period, two clay vases stand out because they carry a hieratic inscription. They were most likely used as containers for remains of embalming process, stored one so-called “embalming caches” that are Period funerary contexts. Many vessels with and Demotic inscriptions have come to light Giza, Abusir, Saqqara Thebes,...
