Descripción : Ancient Egypt, New Kingdom to Late Dynastic Period, 18th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 1550 to 332 BCE. A set of finely preserved sculptor's tools, a petite wooden mallet and a copper chisel. The hand-carved mallet features a round-topped design with a smooth central band to create a uniform striking surface for the sculptor. The copper chisel is of slender form with a tapered handle end covered in green patina as well as an exposed metal surface for the chisel wedge on the opposite end. Mallets of this size typically served a votive purpose rather than as a strictly functional tool, so both tools here were perhaps offerings for a sculptor of high status or exceptional skill.
