- Lot Description
Ancient Egypt, Third Intermediate Period, 21st to 22nd Dynasty, ca. 1069 to 720 BCE. A wonderful set of matching mold-formed faience ushabti figures for a husband and wife named Pa-Di-Khons and Nes-Khonsu, respectively. Both figures stand in mummiform with fused legs, hold a black-painted pick and hoe in relief arms crossed atop the chest, wear painted seed bags behind their backs, don black-hued headbands around their foreheads, and have a column of hieroglyphic symbols atop their legs. The husband's face bears dot-form eyes beneath thick brows, and that of the wife exhibits almond-shaped eyes with elongated outer canthi. When translated, the text on the husband reads, "The Osiris, the god's father of Amun, Pa-Di-Khons, true of voice;" the text on the wife reads, "The Osiris, Nes-Khonsu." Size of largest (wife): 1.875" W x 4.875" H (4.8 cm x 12.4 cm)
Provenance: Harlan J. Berk collection, Chicago, Illinois, USA, acquired in 2008

#153196Repair to wife's feet and middle of husband's legs, with small chips and very light adhesive residue along break lines. Both figures have nicks and abrasions to feet, legs, bodies, and heads, with light encrustations, fading to original glaze pigment and hieroglyphic symbols, and softening to some finer details. Great earthen deposits and nice traces of colorful glaze throughout. Hieroglyphs are still legible.Condition
