Sketch of a stone boat (the sacred boat of Queen Mutemwia) 'from a collection of antiquities at Rosetta'

NOTES: This drawing is one of a number of miscellaneous topographical drawings by Sir Charles Barry and John Lewis Wolfe made during their tour of Italy, Sicily, Greece, Asia Minor and Egypt between 1817 and 1820. This boat is very similar to another one dedicated to Queen Mutemwia in the British Museum (registration number EA43) and described "Granodiorite statue in the form of Mutemwia, wife of Thutmose IV and mother of Amenhotep III, in the guise of the goddess Mut, protected by the wings of a vulture and enthroned upon a sacred boat".
