Funerary Cone of the Royal Herald Intef ca. 1479-1453 B.C. New Kingdom This cone has the impression of a stamp seal inscribed for the royal herald Intef who served during the joint reign of Thutmose III and Hatshepsut. He was owner of tomb TT 155 in the Dira Abu el-Naga cemetery of Western Thebes.Hundreds of stamped pottery cones like this one have been found in the non-royal cemeteries of the Theban necropolis. More than six hundred different stamps have been recorded. Although a few cones are inscribed with the names of identifiable tomb owners like Intef, most record the names of people whose tombs cannot be identified.During the 1926-27 field season, the Museum's excavators uncovered a Middle Kingdom tomb (MMA 110) with rows of unstamped cones embedded along the upper edge of the façade (see fig. 1). It is quite likely that stamped cones, which date to the New Kingdom and later, were used in the same way, identifying the tomb owner by name and title. Intef's tomb facade appears to

Ceremonial Metate 10th-11th century Honduras; Maya () Metates as large and impressive as this are rare. Known examples come from northwestern Honduras. This is the region where the ancient Maya and the peoples of Central America diverged culturally. The two differing cultural traditions can be seen here in a synthesis that produced this elaborately carved metate. Metates were quite common in Precolumbian Central America while they were not in the Maya realm. Yet this metate—even though it has the requisite three legs, up-curving central plate, and imposing, well-carved head on the front—is not stylistically consistent with Central American examples. It is made of a harder, polishable stone, is shorter in the leg, and plainer in overall appearance. The plainness focuses attention on the imposing feline head, details of which call to mind aspects of Maya feline depictions.. Ceremonial Metate 313091
