Abstract

The study emphasizes the significance of swimmer figurines in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo collection, highlighting their intricate craftsmanship and use of precious materials. By comparing these artifacts to similar items in international museums, the research aims to fill gaps in provenance and dating. Many of the excavated spoons were inadequately documented before being incorporated into museum collections, resulting in a loss of valuable historical information regarding their original use. The research investigates the difficulties in documenting ancient Egyptian female swimmer spoons and explores the role of glass negatives in preserving these artifacts for archival purposes. The use of glass negatives offers a higher resolution and more detailed representation of these artifacts, preserving their image quality for future research. This paper aims to study the function, history, and features of the female swimmer spoons from the Egyptian Museum.
