In La Plata Museum there are three casts that have representations and inscriptions of Hesyra who lived in times of King Djoser (2686-2613 BC) and correspond to three wooden panels, finely made, found together with others in this official’s tomb in Saqqara. In the Cairo Museum, they are currently classified with the reference number CG 1426, CG1427 and CG1428. Hesyra carries the name of head of dentists and physicians in one of the casts (CG 1426) that is located today in the Museum of La Plata. The texts in hieroglyphics accompanying the image record for the first time the existence of medical and dental activities in Ancient Egypt. Le musée de La Plata conserve trois moulages portant la trace d’Hesyra, médecin qui vécut sous le règne du pharaon Djoser (2686-2613 av. J.C), sous forme de hiéroglyphes et d’une représentation. Réalisés à partir de trois panneaux de bois sculptés retrouvés dans le complexe funéraire de Saqqarah (référencés CG 1426, CG1427 et CG1428 au musée du Caire), ils donnent à voir des inscriptions qui constituent le plus ancien témoignage d’une activité dans le domaine de la médecine et de l’art dentaire dans l’Egypte ancienne.
