Hathor

Hathor

This votive green faience plaque depicts the famous scene of the godess Hathorr in her animal form in a thicket of papyrus. This image originates in the Theban mountains, where the tombs are found. The Hathor carries a solar disk between horns which recalls her role as the mother of Re. At her neck shines a large collar with a pendant in the form of a lotus. A small hole at the left indicates that the object was meant to be suspended.

Toad on a bronze staff

Toad on a bronze staff


The significance of the toad in Ancient Egypt waned before that of the frog. Because it is poisonous, rendering it inedible to other animals, it seems particularly apt as a magical charm. Toad and frog amulets are also used as symbols of rebirth. This toad is squatting on a bronze staff, the use of which is not clear.

Statuette of an el-`Amarna princess, part

This upper part of a statue of a princess from el-`Amarna is a workshop piece, a model to be used by the sculptor when sculpting the head and upper body of a young princess. Her left side is connected to the angular corner of a block of stone up to the shoulders, which on the back turns into the back pillar. The elongated back of the skull rests on this. The model probably comes from one of the workshops of el-`Amarna. The grid for the proportions was painted on the corner of the block of stone. The middle of the head is marked by a black line, as are the outlines of the eyes and the brows. The sloping ears have only been roughly worked out of the stone.
