- Lot Description
Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic Period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. An ornately decorated section of a collar from an inner mummy case created with cartonnage, a material made from papyrus or linen and soaked in gesso or plaster which was then applied to a wooden mold, carefully smoothed, and embellished with pigment. Once prepared smooth and set, this collar was painted with attractive decorative motifs in golden yellow, wine red, azure blue, black, and white. The composition presents six narrow registers of floral and geometric motifs and a seventh larger register featuring stylized pairs of birds that face one another and perhaps represent the Egyptian concept of Ba, used to refer to the soul or spirit of a person. A marvelous and colorful example of Egyptian funerary tradition! Lucite display stand is for photographic purposes only. Size: 7.3" L x 4.5" W (18.5 cm x 11.4 cm)
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-estate of Diran Dohanian, distinguished art historian and Asian art specialist. Most of Professor Dohanian's collection was formed in the 1960s to 1970s, beginning when he was residing in India conducting research for his book, "The Mahayana Buddhist Sculpture of Ceylon (Outstanding Dissertations in the Fine Arts)."
