- Lot Description
Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic periods, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. A beautiful, hand-carved, painted wood statuette depicting Ptah-Sokar-Osiris in his human-faced form. The god is made of three parts: Ptah, the creator god of Memphis; Sokar, the patron of the Memphite necropolis; and Osiris, the god of the afterlife and lord of the underworld. Together, they tell a story of birth, death, and resurrection. These figures became popular after ca. 1000 BCE and are associated with elite burials. The god figure has remnants of a wooden toggle under its feet with which at one time it would have been attached atop a box that would contain a linen-wrapped mummy made of corn. This corn "mummy" was a substitute image of the deceased. The entire artifact was once painted with rich colors, and decorated with hieroglyphics; you can still see the eyes and some of the red around its face. Custom wooden display stand included. Size: 13.5" H (34.3 cm); 14" H (35.6 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private Davis collection, Houston, Texas, USA; ex-Bonham's London Antiquities Auction, 8 May, 2013, lot 349; ex-private Dutch collection, Mr. V., acquired prior to 1980
