UK museum finds 4,000-year-old handprint on Egypt tomb

LONDON: British researchers have discovered a rare handprint on a 4,000-year-old Egyptian artifact, a Cambridge museum said. The ancient handprint was found by museum conservators on the base of an Egyptian soul house — a clay offering tray in the shape of a building which may have been used in tombs for laying out food offerings or as a dwelling for souls. The unique discovery was made after the piece, crafted between 2055-1650 BC, was examined by conservation staff in preparation for a new exhibition.
