“Ostracon of a Dancer in an acrobatic position” New Kingdom, 19th Dynasty, around 1200 BC. Limestone and paint. This magnificently drawn sketch defies many of the conventions of Egyptian art. The liveliness and quality of draughtsmanship of this semi-erotic sketch, demonstrate a high level of skill and suggests that it was the drawing of a royal artisan working in the Valley of the Kings. Ostraca are simple splinters of limestone or shards of pottery, on which the ancient Egyptians wrote or drew. This type of support was used because it was plentiful and of no material value, unlike papyrus, which was much more expensive.
