Egyptian Miscellany Puzzle

An intriguing center pattern of dozens of small forms, some of which are recognizable as being derived from ancient Egyptian symbolism. A platter is illustrated in Friends of Blue Bulletin #20, given the title “Egyptian Miscellany.” There is no mark, and the maker is unknown. It dates to c. 1810-1830. It is Pattern # 10794 in the TCC Database of Patterns and Sources. The border was also used on another unmarked pattern in the database titled “Winged Sphinx and Greek Key” (Pattern #9928).
