At the touring King Tut exhibition currently at the De Young, I fell in love with the Magical Brick of Thutmosis IV. According to the display tag, "An image on a magical brick was placed in hall niches of burial chambers to ward off dangers from the north, south, east, or west. This northern example warned:
'You who come to pull [my hair], I will not allow you to pull [my hair].' "
Sure, it had nothing on Egypt. But the labeling was worlds and galaxies better than in the Cairo museum.
