- Lot Description
Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. A hand-carved wooden pillar capital that was perhaps once part of an elaborate funerary offering or included as part of a coffin or sarcophagus. The capital features a broad top plinth and a narrower lower platform, with a rectangular midsection that tapers slightly along the lower corners. The entire sculpture is first covered in white gesso and painted with a palette of vibrant colors that form a three-leaf, blue-grey lotus flower atop an orange-brown base. The top plinth bears a horizontal black stripe across the blue-painted surfaces. Dowel holes on the top and bottom still retain most of their original dowels and illustrate how this component would have connected to a larger scene or structure. Lucite display stand for photography purposes only. Size: 5" W x 3.6" H (12.7 cm x 9.1 cm)
Provenance: private J.H. collection, Beaverton, Oregon, USA, acquired between 2015 and 2016; ex-private Montrose, California, USA collection
