"content": "Models of everyday life were deposited in #Egyptian tombs. They were supposed to support the deceased in the afterlife. One of the most charming examples is the model of a #cow giving birth. Carved in wood, painted. Probably from Meir, #Egypt, dating c. 2040-1985 BC. \n\nPhoto: https://collections.rom.on.ca/objects/184967/funerary-model-of-cow-giving-birth\n\nhttps://social.anoxinon.de/system/media_attachments/files/112/653/603/556/749/995/original/27430482a4bcf855.jpg",
