[QUOTE="JoIke, post: 4849991, member: 112092"][USER=87200]@ancient coin hunter[/USER] & [USER=106483]@NewStyleKing[/USER] Once again I just wanted to thank you both for your help with my inquiry. For the past month or so, I've been playing around with the breakdown of the hieroglyphics you both submitted and below is what I've come up with. Now, I'm sure I'm wrong(?) about this given I know next to nothing regarding the subject, but here goes nothing... [ATTACH=full]1171168[/ATTACH] I "think" the hieroglyphics say something or have something to do with the God, Ptah? In my "research", the 3 hieroglyphics (Pth) at right seem to always be associated with him... [ATTACH=full]1171177[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1171178[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1171180[/ATTACH] The round basket hieroglyph just below the above mentioned 3 appears to translate as: nb = neb = (Lord)? The God figure hieroglyph at left I think I've ID'ed as that of the Goddess, Maat given the shape, headdress and ostrich feather atop... [ATTACH=full]1171183[/ATTACH] Putting all this (Pth-nb-Maat) together, I found it means: Ptah Lord of Truth. I'm still trying to figure out how the others (Hm, Ka, Ra) play into all the above. Hm-Ka I seen can also mean: Soul Priest. Anyway, this is what I've been able to come up with given the info you both so kindly provided. What, if anything is correct is another story. I just wanted to show you all that the info provided has not been given in vain and I'm trying to determine the who, what, where, when, why and how of my object.[/QUOTE]
