This photograph by Willem de Famars Testas, taken between 1858 and 1860, depicts a carved wooden handle of an ancient Egyptian spoon. The photograph captures the handle's graceful form, depicting a stylized human figure in a reclining pose. The image, measuring 83 mm in height and 241 mm in width, offers a glimpse into the intricate details of Egyptian craftsmanship and the artistic sensibilities of Testas, who was known for his meticulous documentation of antiquities. The photograph serves as a valuable record of a historical artifact and a testament to the enduring fascination with ancient Egyptian culture.
