METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART
HIEROGLYPHS PEN COLLECTION,
The Museum’s Egyptian Hieroglyphs Pen Collection features hieroglyphs taken from a traditional offering inscription on a false door belonging to Metjetji, a noble of the Old Kingdom, who was the Director of the Office of the Tenants of the Palace under King Unis of Dynasty 5 (ca. 2353–2323 B.C.). The Egyptians used the hieroglyphic script for nearly 3,500 years, from about 3100 B.C. until the end of the third century A.D. A highly complex form of writing, the script was the specialty of a limited number of professional scribes. The glyphs on this pen collection include a jackal, a snake, several species of birds, a water sign, and more..
