- Lot Description
Ancient Egypt, New Kingdom, 19th to 20th Dynasty, ca. 1292 to 1070 BCE. A hand-built pottery ushabti figure depicting a standing wab priest of Amun. The figure stands with fused legs and crosses slender arms atop the chest, with a pick and hoe painted above the hands in orange-red pigment and a large seed bag painted in a similar hue behind both shoulders. The almond-shaped eyes rest peacefully above the smooth cheeks and broad nose, and the lengthy lappets of the tripartite wig cover the sides of the striped wesekh collar pectoral atop the yellow ground. Written in a column atop the legs is a hieroglyphic statement that reads, "The Illuminate, the Osiris, Wab-Priest of Amun . . . " in black pigment. Size: 2.25" W x 6.25" H (5.7 cm x 15.9 cm); 7.5" H (19 cm) on included custom stand.
