Striding Figure ca. 2575-2465 B.C. Old Kingdom The forceful features and developed musculature of this figure are very striking. Traces of paint indicate that he had a moustache and wore a broad collar. The statue has recently been identified as one probably from a tomb at the southern site of El Kab that may date from the early Fourth Dynasty. The style, which has no good parallels in Old Kingdom statues found at Saqqara and Giza, would seem to reflect a regional style.. Striding Figure 543903

Date: 332-30 B.C..The god Nefertum is depicted, wearing a lotus blossom on his head from which two plumes emerge. On either side are menats, symbols of great female goddesses. In his hand he holds an ostrich feather fan emerging from a palmette. Gold Inlaid wedjat eyes and now-missing vitreous inlays decorated his crow,n and wedjat eyes seem to have ornamented the bracelets on his arms.Nefertum was the son of the lion-goddess Sakhmet, and is sometimes envisioned as the son of Bastet or certain other great female lion goddesses. In himself he is associated with the opening of the lotus at dawn and is, therefore, associated with the sun and creation.. The popularity of his statuary as donations, however, may have as much to do with pleasing his mother as with furnishing his own cult.This large Nefertum was dedicated somewhere at Memphis. After a period, which might even be hundreds of years, i

Grave stele. Boeotian poros. Found at Tanagra in Boeotia. This unusual stele, one of the earliest known funerary monuments was erected by Amphalkes on the grave of Dermys and Kitylos, as recorded in the inscription. The two dead youths, possibly brothers, are shown embracing one another. Dermys stands on the left, Kitylos on the right. At top, the stele would have been crowned originally by a seated Sphinx. First quarter of the 6th century BC.

Head of Ahmose I ca. 1550-1525 B.C. New Kingdom For the Egyptians, two of their greatest kings were Mentuhotep II of Dynasty 11 (ca. 2051-2000 B.C.) and Ahmose I of Dynasty 18. Separated by five centuries, each of these rulers was responsible for reuniting Egypt after a period of disunity, one ushering in the Middle Kingdom and one the New Kingdom.This slightly over-lifesize head represents Ahmose I wearing the white crown, a symbol of upper Egypt. The face is broad and relatively flat, with a taut, smiling mouth. These features seem to be influenced by representations of Mentuhotep II whose statues still would have been prominent at Thebes in Ahmose's time, and it is no wonder that Ahmose chose to emulate his illustrious predecessor. The large, slanting, prominent eyes, however, convey an intensity that seems to herald the energetic Thutmoside style of Dynasty 18.. Head of Ahmose I 547950
