Fragment of a cylindrical vase with straight rim and walls. Orangey-coloured paste and painted decoration consisting of a zoomorphic motif, representing a coiling serpent with well-marked scales and characteristics, which must have totally encircled the piece, since the tail appears underneath the animal's head. The serpent is framed by two longitudinal lines.

Omphale figure

Omphale figure

100 BC–300 AD

Ptolemaic or Roman Period

Long termed Baubo figures, figures of a woman with legs raised to expose her genitals have recently been identified as Ompahle. Omphale was a figure of Greek mythology whose liaison with Herakles gave her power over the womb and the travails of childbirth and, by extension, over rebirth after death.

Title: Omphale figure

Period: Ptolemaic or Roman Period

Date: 100 BC–300 AD

Medium: Carnelian

Dimensions: H. 1.2 × W. 1.2 × D. 0.6 cm (1/2 × 1/2 × 1/4 in.)

Credit Line: Theodore M. Davis Collection, Bequest of Theodore M. Davis, 1915

statuette

 

Statuette

 

 This statuette, which represents a female figure standing on a pedestal and leaning on a back pillar, arms at her side, bears many characteristics of female statuary of the 13th Dynasty: thick facial features, large ears, heavy bipartite wig that falls in curls upon the breast, disproportionate arms, hands and feet are all remarkable attributes of the production of this period. There is a hieroglyphic inscription on the back pillar, written in columns and painted white, that allows the identification of this lady. The customary funerary offering formula can be read.

Coffin board with the goddess Maat

Coffin board with the goddess Maat

This representation of the goddess Maat comes from the exterior of the underside of a mummiform wooden coffin. The representation is bordered by a multicoloured ornamental band. The goddess is facing right with her arms hanging beside her body. On her head is an ostrich feather in front of a sun disc. Maat is wearing a broad collar and bracelets. The style of the representation is that of the early Ptolemaic Period. Characteristic is the elegant voluptuousness of the female form, shown by the clear double chin, and a certain affected longness of the limbs.

Child mummy

CHILD MUMMY

The removal of the brain was performed via the nose; the incision for the removal of the intestines was made on the left side of the abdomen. This male child shows a sutura metopica that is the cranial suture dividing the forehead, which does not close even in adulthood.

This characteristic, as well as other distinguishing marks, are quite common. Both upper arm bones were broken in the middle after death.

Vessel decorated with ships and birds

 

Vessel decorated with ships and birds

The vessel has a slender barrel shape with a flat bottom and a moulded rim. It is made of a light-coloured clay. Two cylinder handles for suspending ropes are attached to the shoulder. The walls of the vessel have been sectioned by the reddish brown painted decoration. In the bottom half, a row of flamingos is represented on top of a series of triangles. Between the cylinder handles are images of ships complete with their oars, cabins, and standards. Their prows are decorated with a stylized structure made of reeds. These figurative drawings with their regulating divisions and series of motifs were of great importance for the development of Egyptian two-dimensional art. The small size of this jar suggests that it was intended for the storage of precious liquids placed in the tomb for use by the deceased in his otherworldly existence.
