Senet Board with Geometric banding

The edging of this ebony-stained Senet box is inspired directly from a geometric pattern that was repeated often at least in 14th Century BC Egypt.  You see it on the neck piece of the bust of Nefertiti from El Amarna (circa 1340 B.C.), the feather decorations on King Tut's gold coffin and his duck head chair (both circa 1327 B.C.).

If you look at the top edge of the neck piece the bust of Nefertiti you'll see the pattern we used here.  The image was taken from the Wiki entry on Nefertiti, taken by Phillip Pikart, and is published here under the GNU Free Documentation License.
