Social context of the Old Kingdom copper model tools
Original language description
Copper model tools were usually part of the elite burial equipment during the Old Kingdom in the Ancient Egypt. Definition of tool types is based on the semiotic triangle and a correct reading and interpretation of the artefacts is approached here. Modeltools present in the burial equipment were tools for stone- and woodworking, these being materials of conspicuous consumption in the period. Tools are examined as symbols of the patron-craftsman relationship, where the ownership of the copper tools wasthe patron's. Copper model tools were standardized and a connection between the size and amount of copper model tools and social status of the buried persons is explored. Persons with higher status had access to larger amounts of copper; however, the rules of the access were changing and access to copper was widening during the Old Kingdom.
