Una obra esencial para conocer el desarrollo de las artes en Egipto a lo largo de sus dos mil años de historia. Junto a capítulos de carácter general sobre la configuración geográfica del país y las características de sus habitantes, su religión, su lengua y su cultura, la obra sigue un desarrollo cronológico desde la época predinástica y el período tinita a través de los Imperios Antiguo y Nuevo hasta llegar al Egipto del inicial período cristiano. Hitos sustanciales en este largo camino serán temas como el establecimiento del canon de la representación humana en la época del Imperio Antiguo, o el nuevo canon del templo y la arquitectura en la época de los grandes conquistadores. Las especiales características de la colección, la calidad científica del texto y la abundancia de la documentación gráfica ofrecida, que incluye multitud de ilustraciones en color y blanco y negro y un extenso apéndice de más de cien páginas reservado al análisis en fichas (con plantas, alzados y secciones anejas) monumento por monumento, constituye en conjunto una obra imprescindible.

Imhotep

Imhotep is represented sitting, his feet resting on a rectangular base. He wears a short kilt and a broad collar; his head is shaven. In his hands he holds an unrolled papyrus. There is a tenon below the base of the statuette. Most probably the statuette had originally been sitting on a separately cast chair.

Statuette of a Boy

Statuette of a Boy

In Ancient Egypt, young male children depicted in sculpture or wall paintings were mostly shown nude and uncircumcised. They would also be shown with a side lock of hair and an index finger in their mouth.

The late Old Kingdom statuette depicts a young boy, who is nude. The boy wears a nicely arranged curly black wig, which flares a little to the sides. The wide eyes and eyebrows are painted black.

The artist modeled the upper part of the body well, although the arms are too long. The lower part is not well proportioned and the clumsily sculpted feet are attached to a small base.

HUMAN FIGURINE

HUMAN FIGURINE

The statuette is of a perfect nude figure, most probably a dancing girl.

Her figure is gracefully modeled and the arms, which were carved separately and then attached to the shoulders, are now missing. Her wide eyes and eyebrows are painted black with a long cosmetic eyeline.

The girl has very short black hair with a long braid ending in a heavy ball. These balls were usually shown hanging from the braids of child dancers. The girls would turn their heads rapidly while dancing and the ball hanging from the head would twirl around.

Head of a Woman from the Twelfth Dynasty

Head of a Woman from the Twelfth Dynasty

This wooden head is a part of a composite female statue. The parts of this statue were sculpted separately and then assembled.

It is believed to have belonged to a princess or even a queen of the Twelfth Dynasty, based on the fine depiction of the face, the careful selection of the precious materials, and in the execution of the wig. We can see the black hair of the princess on her forehead covered by the wig. It is attached to the head by tenons made of a black material inlaid with gold. The eyes of this statue were once inlaid but this inlay is now missing.

statue

This wooden statue represents a standing woman wearing a very beautiful wig that ends at the back in three plaits.

The statue once held an object, probably a sistrum, or metal musical instrument or rattle, which is now missing.

The lady is shown here in an unusual position for women, because she is standing with her left leg slightly forward at a time when women were usually shown with their legs side by side.

Double Statue of Nimaatsed

Double Statue of Nimaatsed
Nimaatsed was a priest of Re and Hathor in the solar temple of Neferirkare. He also served as a judge and priest at the pyramids of Neferirkare, Neferefre, and Niuserre.
The statues share one base and are nearly identical but differ slightly in height. His hands are by his sides and he holds the two small rods of dignity. On his head he wears a short, large wig that leaves his ears uncovered. ...
His eyelids, eyebrows, and fine mustache are painted in black. His neck is decorated with a beautiful multicolored necklace and his body is the reddish-brown color that was commonly used for male statues. He wears a short white kilt with a yellow pleated extremity.

In Egyptian tombs, it was common to find double or triple statues of the owner. They perhaps showed the deceased at different ages or represented him with his Ka. That would enable him have more offerings and prayers in the afterlife.

collar

The collar from the collection of Mesehti, Mayor of Asiut, consists of large round beads. The 18 beads of this collar are all that have survived.

The beads have been restrung with modern wire to preserve the original form of the collar. The shape of the fastener at the ends of the original wire is unknown.

Beads of comparable size to this example were worn around the neck by both men and women and in the hair by women. They were thought to magically protect the neck as well as to enhance the wearer's beauty.

Studies on the History of Late Antique and Christian Nubia (Variorum Collected Studies Series) by Laurence Kirwan

Studies on the History of Late Antique and Christian Nubia (Variorum Collected Studies Series)

by Laurence Kirwan

Gathered together here are the fruits of 60 years of research by the late Sir Laurence Kirwan into the history and archaeology of the mid 1st millennium AD in the Middle Nile Valley, papers previously scattered through a wide range of publications. Kirwan's fieldwork in the region, undertaken between 1929 and 1936, kindled a life-long interest in the transition from the pagan Kushite kingdom to the medieval Nubian states of Nobadia, Makuria and Alodia (Alwa) and of their conversion to Christianity in the 6th century AD. The 25 studies, one published here for the first time, were often of seminal importance when they first appeared, the author being exemplary in his use of the written sources to elucidate the archaeological data. As the preface by the editors shows, the views expressed remain fundamental to modern scholarship, offering valuable insights into this still relatively obscure period of transition from the ancient to the medieval world.
