- Lot Description
Egyptian, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A solid, cast bronze striding male figure wearing a false beard, a short kilt, and a tall headdress. Note the incised details of the broad collar visible on the verso. He strides forward with his left leg, while his left arm is bent at the elbow and outstretched, this hand once holding a now missing object. His right arm is held straight down by his side with this hand characteristically clenched in a fist. Size: 8.25" H (21 cm); 9.375" H (23.8 cm) on included custom stand.
Amun (also spelled Amon, Ammon, and Amen) - the Egyptian god of sun and air - was one of the most significant deities of ancient Egypt who became prominent in Thebes at the dawn of the New Kingdom. His name literally means "the hidden one", "invisible", or "mysterious in form", and quite interestingly, as opposed to other Egyptian deities, Amun was regarded as Lord of All representing every aspect of creation.
An XRF analysis on the piece shows the metal content is consistent for metals of the Late Egyptian Dynastic to Early Roman periods. The piece is made of a combination of copper, lead, and tin with minor amounts of silver, gold (possibly once gilded in areas), zinc and iron.
Provenance: ex-private Quinn collection, Los Angeles, California, USA; ex William Barton collection, Memphis, Tennessee, USA, acquired in the 1950s, thence by descent
