Figure of a Girl Holding a Drum
Figure of a Girl Holding a Drum
The barrel-shaped drum may have been introduced to Egypt from the south. Egyptian images often show such drums being played by Nubian or Sudanese soldiers in Egyptian employ. In images dating to before Dynasty XXV (circa 775–653 B.C.), the drummers are always men. This rare three-dimensional image of a female drummer could thus be as early as Dynasty XXV, when women drummers first appeared in reliefs.

Statuette of Queen Ankhnes-meryre II and her Son, Pepy II
Statuette of Queen Ankhnes-meryre II and her Son, Pepy II
Pepy, who became king at about the age of six, had one of the longest reigns in world history. During his childhood his mother, Queen Ankhnes-meryre II, acted as his regent, and she appears to be the primary subject of this statue. Over her striated wig she wears the queenly headdress of a vulture with outspread wings; the bird's head was made separately in metal or stone and inserted in the hole at the front. Pepy's s...mall size indicates his extreme youth, but his costume, including the nemes headdress with a uraeus cobra, is that of a full-fledged king. He sits facing toward his mother's right, almost as if he were a separate statue; but in a most unusual gesture, he acknowledges their relationship by placing his right hand on hers.

Die antiken Kulturen des Sudan sind eine der Wurzeln des pharaonischen Ägypten und bilden die Brücke zwischen Afrika und Ägypten. Fünf Jahrtausende lang bestehen enge politische, wirtschaftliche und kulturelle Beziehungen zwischen dem oberen und unteren Niltal.
Die aus rötlichem Quarzit gefertigte Statue einer Königin ist ein Zeugnis dieser unmittelbaren Nachbarschaft. Ihr Rückenpfeiler folgt dem formalen Aufbau der ägyptischen Skulptur. Der üppige, weich gerundete Körper entspricht einem afrikanischen Schönheitsideal. Dieses Meisterwerk sudanesischer Plastik entstand um 630 v. Chr. in der Hauptstadt Napata am Heiligen Berg nahe dem Vierten Katarakt des Nil im Norden des heutigen Sudan.

The pose of the nursing woman—a standard one in Egyptian art—was also the hieroglyph meaning "nurse." Because its subjects are not identified, this little figure probably did not represent real individuals but rather served as a votive gift requesting a goddess's protection.

This piece of linen was cut from a fringed shawl, one of the many layers of material used to wrap the mummy of Nany. The inscription, which would probably have identified either the linen's owner, its origin, or its quality, was added to the corner in black ink. The ink has eaten through the fabric and the inscription is no longer legible

Neferkare Khendu
Impression of a Levantine cylinder seal bearing an ancient Egyptian royal name. Once tentatively readed "Khondy" and attributed to a king of the Second Intermediate Period, it was also attributed to Neferkare Khendu of the First Intermediate Period and, in more recent times, to the last of the Hyksos kings, Khamudi. Today is likely that the cartouche contains some "space-filler hieroglyphs" and that the cylinder is datable to the late Middle Kingdom and that it cames from Byblos. Green jasper, 18th-17th century BCE, now in the Petrie Museum (UC 11616).
