Statue of Rey

Statue of Rey

The lower part, without the feet, of a standing figure of a man wearing an elaborate pleated garment with fringe. The statue was excavated in the temple of Ptah at Memphis, and would have been placed in one of the outer courts. The standing pose is appropriate to temple sculpture, and the hieroglyphic inscription on the front contains the request for a share in the offerings placed on the altar of the god. It identifies the owner as the king's scribe and overseer of the Double (i.e. national) Granary, named Rey. His titles indicate that he was a leading courtier of the time, as confirmed by the high quality of the sculpture.

Fragment of an anthropoid inner coffin

Fragment of an anthropoid inner coffin

The object is a fragment of an anthropoid inner coffin. It is rectangular and formed part of the left leg. It is painted on both sides.

On the outside, three vignettes are painted, bordered by checkered bands and vertical textcolumns. Along the upper border runs a frieze of interchanging ma'at-feathers and uraei. The background colour is yellow.

In the right vignette, a figure striding to the right is depicted. He wears a short kilt, a long wig and the ceremonial beard, and holds an ankh-sign and a long heqa-sceptre. Opposite, a winged udjat-eye is depicted, from which a uraeus with the Double Crown and ankh-sign hangs down. In between are food-offerings. The middle and left vignettes show the same scene, the uraeus is absent in the left one. Legenda are written in the vignettes.

The representation on the inside is rotated 90 degrees in respect to the outside: Isis and Nephthys bewail a multicoloured Djed-pillar, crowned with a sun-disk. They both wear a white dress with two red ribbons, and have uncovered their breasts. Their hairs are put in a head cloth with a red fillet around it. On the head, the goddesses carry the hieroglyph for their names. The background colour of this scene is red.

Queen Ahmose

Hatshepsut supported her right to rule by claiming to be the daughter of the god Amun, who visited her mother, Queen Ahmose, in the form of King Thutmose I. Ahmose’s role in this royal myth explains the prominence of her images in Hatshepsut’s funerary temple at Deir el-Bahri.

This fragmentary head of Ahmose was the work of one of Hatshepsut’s best sculptors, who indicated the subject’s maturity by carving a slight double chin. The headdress was later scored with a chisel, perhaps in preparation for repainting.

Statuette of a Female Acrobat

By placing a sculpture of an acrobat in his tomb, Sa-Inher declared that he had sufficient wealth to enjoy such diversions throughout eternity. This acrobat is portrayed performing a backbend. The figure’s head was missing when the tomb was excavated; most likely it was broken by grave robbers. The red lines on the woman’s body represent a network of beads or body paint.
