- Lot Description
Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A fabulous pendant made from 97% gold (equivalent to 22K+) with hammer-molded details that illustrate Pataikos (also Patek, Pataek), the bow-legged dwarf god who is known as a protector deity as well as a mitigator of violent natural forces. Pataikos presents nude and stands atop attenuated legs and displays nicely detailed musculature, hunched shoulders, and a squat neck. His compressed visage exhibits a broad nose, full lips with a delineated philtrum, wide-set eyes, and deep nasolabial folds beneath a tall headdress. The verso is covered with a separately attached gold panel, and a cylindrical suspension hole is bored laterally through the headdress. The entire pendant presents wonderful patina. Size: 0.4" W x 0.875" H (1 cm x 2.2 cm); quality of gold: 97% (equivalent to 22K+); total weight: 1.4 grams
For a stylistically similar example of Pataikos made from faience, please see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 74.51.4463.
