Overview

This boxwood paint box has five mineral pigment cakes and Egyptian-blue inscription inlay. Cleveland identifies its owner as the vizier Amenemope; conservators examined the pigments by X-ray diffraction. Its shallow, elongated form measures 21 cm along its longest dimension.

The inscription names his office. Recreational use and burial association remain museum suggestions. Recorded from Thebes, it passed through Luxor dealers and Lucy Olcott Perkins before Cleveland acquired it in 1914.
