An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

Glass figural inlay elements could be fitted in individual wooden cells, or placed immediately adjacent to other elements and attached to a background. This rather large glass hand might have represented the hand of a god holding an ankh toward a god. Rather oddly the hand only has a thumb and three fingers.

The Met collection of ancient Egyptian art consists of approximately 30,000 objects of artistic, historical, and cultural importance, dating from about 300,000 BCE to the 4th century CE. A signifcant percentage of the collection is derived from the Museum's three decades of archaeological work in Egypt, initiated in 1906 in response to increasing interest in the culture of ancient Egypt.
