- Lot Description
Ancient Egypt, New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty, reigns of Amenhotep III to Akhenaten, ca. 1360 to 1330 BCE. A lovely example of a hand-built pottery ushabti of slender presentation who stands in mummiform atop fused legs and feet. Painted with a white ground and embellished in red and black pigment, the figure is shown holding a pair of hoes in unfolded hands that are placed atop the chest. The slightly downcast visage is comprised of almond-shaped eyes, a petite nose, and tapered cheeks, all framed within the lappets of the tripartite wig; the top of the wig shows how it used to be decorated with a powdery blue pigment. A column of black hieroglyphs down the front of the legs reads, "The Osiris, Ba-Sha-Wer," perhaps a foreign name written in Egyptian. Size: 1.39" W x 3.76" H (3.5 cm x 9.6 cm); 4.22" H (10.7 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-private New York City, New York, USA collection; ex-Aldrid Auction; ex-private Massachusetts, USA collection, with early to mid 20th century collection label
