It’s unusual for ancestor busts to have hieroglyphic inscriptions – Muteminet’s is a rare example! Muteminet’s bust features in our Touring Exhibition following the incredible international race to decipher the hieroglyphic code. 🏛 ‘Egyptian hieroglyphs: unlock the mystery’ will be on display at @TorquayMuseum in Devon until 18 February 2024. 🔗 Find out more and plan your visit via the link in our bio. 🔎 Ancestor bust of Muteminet.
