- الوصف:
- Egyptians enjoyed playing board games, especially "senet," or "passing." From the Old Kingdom, the game also had religious significance, which transformed it into a simulation of the soul's journey through the underworld to achieve immortality. Throw sticks, much like dice, determined a player's moves, and winning required both skill and luck. The "senet" game board of 30 squares required 14 game pieces, like this one.For the latest information about this object, game pieces, visit art.thewalters.org.Dynasty: 18th-21st DynastyInscriptions: Reign: Style:
