English: Detail from the mace-head of King Scorpion
The scenes on the surviving fragments depict King Scorpion (named after the scorpion symbol to the right of his face) performing the ceremonial opening of an irrigation canal. Attended by fan-bearers, the king wears the White Crown of Upper Egypt and a ceremonial bull´s tail. Standing before him, a man holding a basket, and another carrying a broom, wait to collect the earth removed by the king´s hoe. King Scorpion may have been the immediate predecessor of King Narmer. He would therefore belong to the group of rulers preceding the kings of the historic 1st dynasty. From the `Main Deposit´, Hierakonpolis. AN1896-1908 E.3632 Ashmolean Museum. |
