Heights of David Recreation (resin cast, about 8 by 4 1/2 inches). From the Victory scene city list at Karnak of Pharaoh Sheshonq I a partial cartouche (#106) interpreted by Kenneth Kitchen to have read, "The Heights of David". The hand stands for `t', since there is no `d' in hieroglyphics a `t' substitutes for it. The falcon stands for `a', the sling for `ua' in which the `u' is taken as a `v' and the rope stands for `th'. Therefore `tavth', is a good rendition of `David'. The double lines are taken as emphasis for the bottom crown which means `foreign'.
