- Lot Description
Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A fine pair of matching mold-formed faience ushabtis covered in attractive turquoise-hued glaze. Each figure stands with fused legs atop an integral rectangular plinth, holds the symbolic pick and hoe in arms crossed atop the chest, and has a small seed bag incised behind the left shoulder. Their serene faces boast bulging almond-shaped eyes, petite noses, full lips above false beards, and cupped ears, all beneath their finely-striated tripartite wigs. The front of each figure exhibits eight rows of inscribed hieroglyphic text that, while untranslated, provide the name of the deceased as well as a protective invocation from Chapter 6 of the Egyptian Book of the Dead (or Book of Going Forth by Day). Size of each (both are relatively similar): 1.3" W x 4.9" H (3.3 cm x 12.4 cm).
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.

#145351Both figures repaired from two large pieces along the legs, with small chips and light adhesive residue along break lines. Both figures have minor abrasions and nicks to bases, legs, bodies, and heads, with light fading to original glaze coloration, and minor softening to some finer details and inscribed hieroglyphic text. Light earthen deposits throughout. Two TL drill holes on each figure: beneath base on both, behind head on one, and within repaired break on legs of other.Condition
