Royal Cubit Rod Donated Amenhotep II

An ornamental wood rod overlaid with gold from the funerary chamber of Kha and presented to him by Amenhotep II, in honor of his work. It is decorated with dedication hieroglyphs on the two ends and on four surfaces, including the bevel face, the top, back, and bottom. 

The single scale is on the front surface. This rod is in sharp contrast with undecorated specimen, both from Kha, and both found in his funerary chamber. The contrast provides some insight into the differences between daily life and religious observations.

New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty, reign of Amenhotep II, ca. 1427-1401 BC. Gilded wood. From the Tomb of Kha (TT8), Deir el-Medina, West Thebes. Now in the Egyptian Museum of Turin. Cat. 8647
