This picture shows everything required for rhizome cultivation. The most important is the Osiris phallus divided into seeds for planting. The tools required are shown along side; sawt (unknown purpose), the ankh (life-giver), the tet pillar (to store dormant rhizomes) the was septre (two holes are pierced into each rhizome) and, at the bottom, the chufa.
Please see post "Osiris Lord of Dormancy" below.
I'm a gardener and I love rhizome plants because they are so easy to propagate.
ReplyDeleteThis is another fascinating and lovely post. Thanks.
Thanks Alice. Surely rhizome domestication was precursor to grain domestication.
