Panel 10th-12th century This carved panel, is ornamented with a bird and an ibex, surrounded by arabesques. While earlier forms of Egyptian wood-work emphasized abstract vegetal designs as a primary motif, in this piece naturalistic animal forms dominate the carving. At top a bird puffs its chest and spreads its wings, while at bottom an ibex leans his head back in mid-stride. Their bodies are further ornamented with carvings to indicating feather and fur patterns. Similar animal forms depicted within cartouches can be found ornamenting many objects produced in the Mediterranean area during the medieval period, including ivories, textiles, and metalwork.
