Tutankhamun on the Back of a Leopard
This statuette is one of a pair featuring King Tutankhamun on the back of a leopard. The king is shown standing with his left leg forward on a rectangular pedestal fixed to the back of the leopard.
He holds a long staff in one hand and the flail in the other. The king is wearing the White Crown of Upper Egypt with a cobra on his forehead and a large collar that covers his chest and shoulders and terminates with a row of drop beads.
A tight-fitting loincloth tied at the front and incised with fine lines covers his lower body. He is wearing sandals.
The exaggeration of the king's features shows the influence of the Amarna style of art.

Shroud of Osiris
Shroud of Osiris
This
fragment in linen cloth, which dates from the Roman Period, is the
upper part of a large shroud representing the god Osiris mummiform. The
oval face has two black eyes elongated by a cosmetic line and a large
nose. On the cheeks two bandages descend which serve to fix the false
beard. The body is wrapped in an envelope of netting in dark red and
decorated black and blue. The god, who is dressed in the atef-crown,
wears a wesekh-collar and a pectoral in the form of a naos. The face of
Osiris is framed by two kneeling mourners; they are probably a
representation of Isis and Nephthys. The shroud is also decorated with
djed-pillars and small papyrus columns. This type of shroud, of which
the iconography is certainly of pharaonic tradition, is rather rare.

statuette woMAN
Statuette of a nude woman with moveable arms, one missing
Third Intermediate Period
This statuette of a woman is an ancient mechanical figure. Both of her arms were attached to an axle that runs between her shoulders; a string was wound around the axle, then ran through a channel in her body and left leg to emerge beneath the base under her feet, so that pulling the string caused the axle to turn and the arms to rise. Such figures, called automata, are known: the museum’s figure of a pygmy (34.1.130) was part of an ensemble of dancing pygmies that turned on a base by a string mechanism, and the mouth of the ivory dog (40.2.1) opens by a simpler lever system.
The figurine had been considered problematic, but a recent study has adduced strong technical evidence to support its antiquity, thus restoring it to a place in our displayed collection.
The study also endeavored to place the statuette in terms of style, suggested a reconstruction for the pose of its missing left arm, and posited an identity that the author saw as a clue to understanding a larger group of first millennium figures. Particularly the reconstruction of the figure’s pose and the idea of a single shared identity among the larger group must retain question marks.
Date: ca. 945-664 BC

HATSHEPSUT: LA PRIMOGENITA DEL DIOS AMON
La apasionante vida del faraón femenino Hatshepsut nos abre una puerta del conocimiento a la fascinante civilización egipcia, en el comienzo de su periodo más esplendoroso: la dinastía XVIII, que inauguró el floreciente Imperio Nuevo. Envuelta en las brumas de la Historia Antigua, la biografía de esta mujer nos lega escasa de datos, debido a la persecución que su memoria sufrió en lo momentos posteriores a su muerte. Siempre en controversia, el tema de la vida de esta reina, ejemplo de tenacidad, decisión, inteligencia, equilibrio, sagacidad y honradez, ha sido tratado por egiptólogos extranjeros con mayor o menor acierto, siendo esta la primera vez que se ofrece al público de habla castellana una obra escrita a la luz de las últimas investigaciones científicas. Para hacerla amena, esta obra se ha enriquecido con amplios datos de carácter general sobre el ambiente de intrigas palaciegas, salpicadas de las grandezas y limitaciones humanas, de amores y odios, que caracterizó el reinado de Hatshepsut. El presente trabajo, realizado de forma rigurosa, redactado en un lenguaje ameno y sencillo, hace posible que su contenido alcance e interese a todos los públicos. Uno de los mayores atractivos de la vida de esta mujer es la modernidad de su pensamiento y actuación, lo que la sitúa muy cercana a nuestra mentalidad abierta del siglo XX.

lion
The lion played an important role in the imagination of the ancient Egyptians. Fear and awe for the animal demon influenced man's encounters with the animal. Reminders of this fear are amulets in the shape of lions. This small pottery lion is depicted reclining with its jaws slightly open. Lion amulets were used in the Late Period, for example, as protection against snake bites. Statuettes with bases also served as seals or as the decoration on finger rings.
