Label TextExcavated in 1922 by the Egypt Exploration Society at Maru-Aten, a palace complex at Akhetaten (modern Amarna), this carved stone fragment entered the Toledo Museum of Art through the EES’s official division of finds. Though not individually published in the distribution list, its excavation number confirms its origin in the same season and context.Published ReferencesPeet, Thomas Eric, and C. L.
