Test your observation skills! Work with a partner who cannot see the photograph of the Ibis. Describe this artifact to your partner with as much detail as you can, so that your partner can create a drawing based on your description. When the drawing is complete, compare it with the photograph on the webpage.

Read the background information on the Ibis. Where do you think the Ibis could have been found? In a tomb? If so, whose tomb? Why? What else might have been found there?
