Preserved Beef

[Subdeacon Joe]

Federal Quartermaster was bidding on this in 1862.

 

======================

Ancient Egypt: Preserved Shoulder of Beef and Half of a Food Box. This preserved shoulder of beef was placed in a wooden box of the same shape (the lid is now missing). It was found with other boxes of preserved meat near the entrance of a cliff tomb in Western Thebes by the Museum's Egyptian Expedition. The boxes were intended as food offerings for the spirit of the tomb's owner who may have been a young prince named Amenemhat whose coffin was found nearby. Egyptian, New Kingdom, c1504, BC.
