Senet game. Egypt, New Kingdom, ca. 1550-1069 BCE. The game was first played in the Predynastic period, and a form of it is still in use in Egypt today. Senet could be played with highly decorated sets, plain sets or simply on a grid of three rows of ten squares scratched in the dust or on a stone. Each player had a set of seven pieces. The players threw sticks or knuckle bones to move around the board via the squares indicating good or bad fortune. L. 28 cm. Inv. EA 66669.
