- Lot Description
Ancient Egypt, Old Kingdom, 5th Dynasty, ca. 2446 to 2389 BCE. A hand-carved limestone panel fragment of a rectangular form with flat faces. The obverse face is adorned with a beautiful and naturalistic low-relief depiction of a gazelle, depicted in a striding pose with its left front leg forward and its craned neck extending from the muscular upper body. A single almond-shaped eye peers forward from between skillfully-delineated upper and lower eye lids, with slit-form nostrils and lips on a conical snout, and a cupped ear is set behind an elegantly-curving horn. Fine yellow patina has accumulated across the obverse face, though the verse still retains its natural chalky-white appearance. Custom museum-quality display stand included. Size: 4.875" W x 8.7" H (12.4 cm x 22.1 cm); 10.125" H (25.7 cm) on included custom stand.
