Archaeology / Egyptian remains | | French term or phrase: chasse | In a text about Egyptian remains in Abydos. Context: "sur un piédestal faisant face au pharaon assis, se dresse une imposante chasse portative (peut-être un coffret contenant des rouleaux de papyrus ?)". Another reference says: "Sur cette chasse royale richement ornée de signes ankh et de piliers djed...". I have found a website with a picture: http://alain.guilleux.free.fr/abydos/abydos_temple_sethi_hyp...
The picture is the 6th from the top. What would the English be, please? TIA |
