Statuette of a prince

Statuette of a prince

This standing wooden figure of a prince with slender limbs is shown in an knee-length kilt with a protruding apron front. Curving ribbons hang down from the belt on either side of the apron. His head is covered by a wig with a gilded band around it and a broad sidelock hangs down from his head as far as the upper arm. The object the prince held against his chest with one or even both hands can't be ascertained owing to the fragmentary nature of the piece. The statuette was fitted into the pedestal at a later date, because the four lines of inscription on it mention the title and name of Queen Tiy. Around the pedestal is a decoration of alternating ankh, djed, and was signs.

The owner and his wife (probably) are sitting on seats with high backs placed on a mat and hold the stem of a lotus in the right hand. They wear the Theban cone upon their wigs, like the young girl who presents a cup to those who are probably her parents. Between them stands a table of offerings on which are piled various commodities.
Behind the girl are three musicians, two are nude, the third wearing a transparent dress. They play the harp, a long necked lute or a double flute

Fragment of relief with courtier

Fragment of relief with courtier

1907476.JPG

This is one of numerous relief fragments from a series of offering-bearers or courtiers, retrieved by the Egypt Exploration Fund in the clearance of the temple of king Nebhepetra Mentuhotep on the West Bank at Thebes. The fragment preserves part of a finely carved figure of a courtier, one hand held in reverence to the chest. He wears a formal kilt bound in a knot at the waist. Series of such figures are first found in relief on the walls of Old Kingdom royal pyramid temples, evidently the inspiration for the artists of Mentuhotep during the reunification of Egypt at the beginning of the Middle Kingdom.

Nakhti, ruler of Asiut

Nakhti, ruler of Asiut

The statuette of the chancellor Nakhti was found at the beginning of the 20th century in the course of excavations in the necropolis of the rulers of Asiut. It is a very original piece: the use of alabaster, which gives a soapy and unfinished appearance, is exceptional. Nakhti is seated on a cube-shaped seat, and rests his left hand on his left knee, while his right fist is clenched on his right knee. The hands and feet are very large in relation to the rest of his body, and the use of black paint for the eyes and eyebrows gives the face a very expressive appearance. Even if the statuette does give the impression of imperfection of form, it does express the imperturbable strength of a provincial noble living at the beginning of the Middle Kingdom.

Lute player

Lute player
This small decorative plaque of bronze probably embellished a column of one of the Theban temples; it was brought back from Egypt by Jean Looze, a participant in the Napoleonic Expedition of 1798. It depicts a lute player standing on a papyrus skiff. This scene is well known from painted walls of tombs and toilette objects and can even be found in the form of an amulet. This object dates from the reign of Tutankhamun and the style shows the influence of Amarna ar...t: the pose of the body of the player, wrapped in a pleated garment and with a prominent belly, is very characteristic of the age of Akhenaten.
