Breasted: 1. Hildesheim, Pelizaeus-Museum, 1690 (Pl. 4b). Unprovenanced Middle Kingdom. The cow stands with her calf beside her, slightly ahead and to right, facing in same direction. A man wearing a white skirt stands by the cow's head with his left arm extended forward as though to hold a halter rope. Directly beneath the cow sits a woman milking with her right hand. With her other hand she holds in her lap a jar in which to catch the milk. This position for milking is very different from that of the early Mesopotamian culture. Roeder, Die Denkmäler des Pelizaeus-Museums, fig. 18, p. 73. Dimensions of base: 30 cm. x 23 cm. | |
