It is kept in the Graeco-Roman Museum at Alexandria (Inv.No.3244). It is carved in white marble and measures 25 cm. The dimension of the head indicates that once it belonged to a life size statue. The head is dressed in tightly strapped Attic helmet. The face is highly polished. His facial features indicate that it was dedicated to a young warrior. Breccia and Maehler suggested that this beautiful head representing a Roman soldier. This point of view is based on the helmet which was a military attribute. The head was dated to 180-190 A.D. Again, this suggestion is based on the similarity between our helmet and a helmet which is represented on a sarcophagus at the Louvre Museum (Ma.2119). This head owes much to the influence of the imperial sculpture of the Antonine age; especially the age of Commodus. It also reveals the influence of the classical sculptures of the fifth and fourth century B.C. This theory is reasonable, thought the Hellenic forms were common in the second century A.D.Fayoum University; Faculty of ArchaeologyShedet2356-87045520181201A PTOLEMAIC STELA OF ANKH-WENNEFER IN THE GRAND EGYPTIAN MUSEUM (GEM.12920)9168785310.21608/shedet.005.02ENAhmedMASHHOUTFaculty of Archaeology, Fayoum University EgyptJournal Article20200508This paper explores a funerary Ptolemaic stela of Ankh-wennefer together with his elder son, Djedher (inv. no GEM 12920).

One of these scenes, on the northern wall, depicts an artisan painting a statue in the final stages of the manufacture. Behind the statue, there is a woman, who holds with her right hand the right wrist of the statue, while her left hand disappears behind the shoulders of the statue. Because of the depiction of this woman, this scene is a unique one among all the scenes that show the manufacture of the statues in all periods of Egyptian history. The scene lacks a text or a caption that defines the personality of the woman, or clarifies her role in the scene. A comparative study has been examined here on the scenes of the statue manufacture which are depicted in Egyptian tombs in order to identify that woman and her role.</strong><br /> <strong> </strong>Fayoum University; Faculty of ArchaeologyShedet2356-87045520181201REMARKS ON THE CONCEPT OF WIND IN THE TEXTS OF THE TEMPLE OF ESNA82958787310.21608/shedet.005.07ENMohammed A.ELSAYEDJournal Article20200508<strong>This paper focuses on the concept of wind in the texts of the temple of Esna.

However, these movements were toughly faced, thus could not stand in front of the Ottoman Empire. From this point, coins played an important role in studying separatism through studying revolutionaries’ coins. Thus coins have been important documents and records preserving the history of revolutions throughout the different ages. One of the most important revolutionary movements was the one by Khaīn Paşa, the Egyptian governor during the era of Sultan Sulaymân who declared the rebellion against the Sultan’s power, underestimated the Sultan by declaring himself the Sultan of Egypt, and struck coins under his name. But the Ottomans faced this movement forcefully until it was eliminated and Khaīn Ahmed Paşa was executed. Among the most important results were the successive monetary versions of gold and silver coins during the reign of Sultan Sulaymân, beside the emission of law which specified the transactions of the Egypt mint ‘ḍarbkhāne’ or ‘dār al-ḍarb’, and its minters ‘ḍarrābun’.</strong>Fayoum University; Faculty of ArchaeologyShedet2356-87045520181201PERSIAN POWDER FLASKS PRESERVED IN THE GAYER–ANDERSON MUSEUM IN CAIRO: AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND ARTISTIC STUDY1381618788410.21608/shedet.005.11ENHossam O.TANTAWYFaculty of Arts, Ain Shams University, EgyptRehab I.ELSIEDYFaculty of Archaeology, Cairo University, EgyptJournal Article20200508Muslims had some contributions in using black powder in projectiles and firearms, as the pressure of military need has helped them develop all weapons which can catapult balls of fire. As a result of that, they make flasks to carry gunpowder. Nowadays, a lot of these powder flasks could be traced in museums and private collection all over the world. Gayer-Anderson Museum in Cairo has an important collection of Islamic powder flasks attributed to different regions made of different materials such as metal, wood, ivory, leather, etc. There are twelve of these powder flasks belonging to Iran as a type or place of manufacturing. These Persian powder flasks are distinguished by the variety of their shapes which could be divided into 4 main types. On the other hand, they reflect multiple methods in ornamenting this kind of object according to the type of the raw material it is made of. Despite the importance of this collection, there isn`t an individual study to explore them and reveal the different aspects which effect on such objects, so this research interests in studying this Persian collection of powder flasks descriptively and analytically.

Halite salt was detected in the building limestone; mortars’ composition varies between lime and white Portland cement, while the plaster in the palace walls is a mixture of white Portland cement and lime. Plaster in the marina is a mixture of lime, white Portland cement and anhydrite. Pigment material in the green terrazzo is a mix of malachite and greenalite; portlandite abreast with brucite were found in the plaster and mortar mixtures in addition to clay minerals. Nanolime, nanotitanium, nanokaolin, nanosilica and multi-walled carbon nanotubes were used as consolidants, experimental study made it clear that nanotitanium and MWCNTs are the most appropriate consolidants in the current case study.</strong>
