- Lot Description
Ancient Egypt, New Kingdom Period, 19th to 20th Dynasty, ca. 1292 to 1070 BCE. A fabulous, hand-carved limestone fragment of a relief panel depicting a scene of everyday life. A man and woman are shown kneeling above a horizontal band of inscribed hieroglyphs, their hands arranged in a submissive position while facing a small altar bedecked with palm fronds. Above the two figures are the feet of a third figure as well as various plant crops, and the two scenes are separated by a thinly-incised horizontal border. The figures kneeling in front of the altar are praying for a fertile harvest to Huh (also Heh, Hah, Huah, or Hahuh), the god of long life, prosperity, and eternity. Though only fragmentary, this panel gives us insight into how the beliefs of ancient Egyptians fed into their everyday practices. Custom museum-quality display stand included. Size: 5.375" W x 5.25" H (13.7 cm x 13.3 cm); 7" H (17.8 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private Colorado, USA collection; ex-Arte Primitivo Gallery, New York, New York, USA, acquired in June, 2000; ex-John L. Walz collection, Consul General to Egypt in the 1950s
