Canopic Chest of King Tutankhamun
This alabaster canopic chest is considered to be one of the finest masterpieces of Tutankhamun’s collection. The interior of the chest is divided into four compartments, each with a cylindrical hollow covered by a lid elegantly carved in the form of the king’s head.
From the Tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62), Valley of the Kings, West Thebes. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 60687

Watching Whiteness Shift to Blue Via Nationalist Aesthetics
On this day, 7 February 1919, construction union activists representing 75,000 members in Essex, New Jersey voted to strike in the event of alcohol prohibition coming into force on 1 July.
Two days later it was reported that 200,000 workers in New York City also voted to strike, with a further 150,000 due to vote in the following fortnight. New York unions received letters from union branches in LA, Cincinnati, Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago, Dayton, Ohio, St Louis, Kansas City, Milwaukee and elsewhere. Workers who supported the movement wore pins which declared “No beer, no work”.
However, union leaders called off the action the following month, stating it would have made them “look ridiculous”.
We have produced some merchandise commemorating the movement using their original artwork to help fund our work: https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/no-beer-no-work https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1647239018794575/?type=3

Ostracon of King Ramesses VIII
It is a standing, figured profile of Prince Sethherkhepshef (who later ascended the throne as Ramesses VIII) in an adoration pose, with outstretched arms, a scepter in his left hand, and right hand, palm-forward. Behind Sethherkhepshef in a standard layout of figures and writing, is a vertical column of hieroglyphs reading “king’s son of his body, his beloved” with his name (Seth-her-kepesh) appearing at the end.
Egyptian ostraca were used for artist’s sketchings, cartoons-caricatures, letter documents, school–practice writing, and graffiti. This particular ostracon may be a sketch by an artisan working on the prince’s tomb. New Kingdom, 20th Dynasty, Ramesside Period, reign of Ramesses VIII, ca. 1130-1129 BC. From the Tomb (QV43), Valley of the Queens, West Thebes. Now in the Egyptian Museum of Turin. Cat. 5637
