I've finished the Sa needlepoint!
 To see the color properly, I had to resort to flash... I've adjusted the pattern to reflect the various design changes.
 Prisse d'Avennes _Atlas of Egyptian Art_ D'Avennes "was far ahead of his time in his awareness of the vulnerability of the monuments and the need to protect them and to record them. His were the first reliable drawings of Egyptian architecture and ornaments and the first plans and sections of constructions newly excavated. He returned to Paris [in 1860] with a rich harvest of 300 drawings, 400 meters of squeezes; and 150 photographs." --Maarten J. Raven, Curator of the Egyptian Department, the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden, Leiden." Many of the things he illustrated no longer exist! The other item is a SISTRUM! Now that I know Kentaurus Designs also makes these with brass cymbals in them, I'm tempted for a second one!
