Cobra Head ca. 1400-1300 B.C. New Kingdom This head of a cobra is made out of Egyptian faience, a glazed non-clay ceramic material. The eyes of the bulky head must originally have been inlaid, possibly with semi-precious stones, which would have given the head a very lively look. A broad groove on the bottom of the piece shows that it was originally slid into position. The cobra head was probably originally part of a frieze of protective uraei that belonged to a piece of wooden furniture. Such a construction is known from furniture of Tutankhamun. The cobra head might have belonged to the burial equipment of another king of this period.. Cobra Head 544121
