EGYPTIAN GREEN GLAZED FAIENCE USHABTI: of typical mummiform, wearing a tripartite wig, false beard and arms crossed over the body holding farming implements in each hand and a seed bag over left shoulder for use while performing labor for its owner in the afterlife- the ushabti would be buried in the owner's tomb so that when called upon to perform daily manual labor in the afterlife by Osiris, the Ushabti would be able to do the work in its owner's place, giving the deceased individual an afterlife of luxury. Complete with nine horizontal bands of hieroglyphs from Chapter 6 of the Book of the Dead, which contain the necessary incantation spoken by the ushabti when called to labor. As typical with examples from the Late Period an integral plinth runs the length of the back and into a convenient base which is an original section of the piece.

Origin: Egypt Circa: 2100 BC to 1800 BC Dimensions: 1.5 " (3.8cm) high x 2.8 " (7.1cm) wide Collection: Egyptian Style: Middle Kingdom Medium: Jasper This is an exceptionally rare and refined sculpture of a hippopotamus carved from mottled jasper. Striding forward, with his front right leg extended, the pose is aggressive and confrontational. Hippopotami were feared by the ancient Egyptians for the damage they could inflict on people and crops. According to legend, one of the earliest Egyptian kings was killed by a hippopotamus and they were associated with the evil god Seth. Horus was often depicted on temple walls engaged in hunting the hippopotamus, an activity symbolising the triumph of order over destruction. Although the animal could have more positive associations with fertility and rebirth, the red/orange colour of the jasper is suggestive of an association with Seth. The muscles around the neck and above legs are clearly defined and the mouth is slightly ajar. The miniature scale suggests that it may have been used as a talisman or amulet and the choice of material confirms that this was a highly prestigious object. (AM) - (SK.024 )   « Less
