Abstract
bA bird statuettes, figurines, and amulets are funerary objects that is commonly found in Egyptian museums. bA ‑figurines started to be common among funerary objects found in ancient Egyptian tombs since the New Kingdom. Unlike bA statuettes, bA figurines were intended to be attached to a coffin or a stela in many cases. Their existence increased in the Late and Ptolemaic Periods.
This present paper is dealing with seven unpublished bA-bird figurines at the Egyptian Museum of Cairo. They were discovered by the Austrian Archaeological Institute in 1969 at El-Asassif, Thebes and since that they were not published before.
