Four Bracelets from the Tomb of King Djer

Four Bracelets from the Tomb of King Djer

Abydos.

These four bracelets were discovered at Abydos in the tomb of King Djer of the First Dynasty. They were fastened onto a linen-wrapped forearm of a woman, who might have been King Djer's queen or a member of the royal family.

The bracelets were held in place by linen bandages, which made it possible to recover them in their original order of stringing.

Three of the bracelets are composed of various types of beads: gold, turquoise, lapis lazuli, and amethyst.

The fourth one consists of 27 plaques representing the palace facade topped by the falcon god Horus.

The bracelets are of exquisite workmanship, demonstrating the skill of the ancient artists in this early period of Egyptian

From Abydos.

Naos with Statue of a Woman

Naos with Statue of a Woman

This slender, elegant figure, carved from sycamore wood, represents the Lady Ibentina, wife of Satnem. A string of tiny faience beads is tied around her left arm. She is wearing a three-part wig with braids and her wrists are adorned with bracelets. She has a small face with wide, almond eyes and a nicely shaped mouth. The statue is fitted into a parallelepiped wooden base.

The paintings around this base represent a formula for offerings dedicated to the god of the dead, Osiris. He is referred to as Lord of Busiris and Abydos. The statue is enclosed in a wooden naos with a lid.

Ostracon of a Monkey.

Ostracon of a Monkey.

This ostracon has an amusing drawing in red and black of a monkey standing on its hind legs and eating from a mound of grain gathered next to a building, probably a storehouse.

Above the monkey, a hieroglyphic script written from left to right reads, "The Scribe of the Granary."

This title suggests that the artist intended to use the animal character in what would normally be a human occupation to criticize human nature in an amusing manner.

Cross-hatching has been used to suggest the texture of the monkey's fur.

This figurine of terracotta, which was acquired through an exchange with the Museum of Cairo in 1905-1906, depicts a man and a woman who carry out the sexual act. It is particularly distinguished by the large head of the man and the small size of the woman. The piece comes from the rich category of erotic figurines of faience and terracotta made from the Graeco-Roman Period onwards.

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.

Group statue of Pepi and Ra-shepses

Group statue of Pepi and Ra-shepses

The large, dominant figure in the centre of this group statue is that of Pepi. She is embracing her slightly smaller husband in a gesture which is quite common in group statues. Her son is standing on her other side, represented nude and wearing the sidelock which is typical for children. He has his arm around her back. The high artistic quality of the group is apparent from the well-preserved face of the man.

Statue of the God Thoth with the Godess Maat Squatting in Front of Him

This statue represents the God Thoth in the form of an ibis, a bird with long legs, a long curved bill and red eyes.

Maat, who was the goddess of justice and who had been associated with him since the time of the Middle Kingdom, is shown squatting in front of him on a high chair. The goddess wears a long, tripartite wig and rests her arm on her thigh. A hole was cut on her head in which to place the ostrich feather that was her symbol.

Two small figures on two special thin bases flank Maat's chair.

Shabti for Semity

Hardwood mummiform figure with large head and wide face with large ears. The crossed arms are only slightly free of the body. The fists are visible but hold no tools. Eyes and brows were painted black. On the front are four carved lines of hieroglyphs. The layout suggests that the shabti was kept in its own coffin. The fine modelling of the figure and the shape of the hieroglyphs are reminiscent of the tradition of the Middle Kingdom.

NECKLACE

This beautiful carnelian necklace is made up of five bead segments joined by small ivory plaques and comes from excavations at el-Riqqeh, a site in Middle Egypt. The red colour, which usually symbolises evil, is here a protection against fatal accidents. This idea is strengthened by the uppermost row of beads which has twenty uraei.

EL IMPERIO EGIPCIO: INSCRIPCIONES, CA 1550-1300 A.C.

JOSE MANUEL GALAN

A medida que la administración de la corona egipcia iba haciéndose más eficaz, la elite social se enriquecía y sofisticaba, y aumentaba la «necesidad» de adquirir productos de importación. A partir del año 2000 a. C., la presencia egipcia adopta cierto carácter permanente en áreas concretas, como las minas del Sinaí, el puerto libanés de Biblos y, sobre todo, Nubia. Los reyes egipcios de la dinastía XVIII, en el siglo XV a. C., extienden sus fronteras hasta la cuarta catarata del Nilo y, por el norte, dominan la región de Palestina y el sur de Siria, llegando hasta el Eufrates y Ugarit. Los textos traducidos en el presente volumen expresan la percepción del imperialismo egipcio desde el punto de vista de sus propios actores.
