- Lot Description
Ancient Egypt, New Kingdom period, 18th to 20th Dynasty, ca. 1549 to 1076 BCE. A wonderful, mold-formed pottery funerary cone (also foundation cone) of a conical form with a broad front face. The conical body tapers to a fragmentary midsection, and the original conical lower body would have gradually narrowed to a rounded point. The finger impressions from the original sculptor can still be felt on the body. Two columns of low relief hieroglyphic symbols designate this cone for Pawah, the scribe and servant of Amun. When translated, the two columns read, "The Osiris, servant of Amun, Pa-wah, true of voice." Size: 4.3" W x 2.75" H (10.9 cm x 7 cm).
For a nearly identical example of the hieroglyphic columns, please see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 30.6.23.
Another example can be seen in: de. G. Davies, N. and F.L. Macadam. "A Corpus of Inscribed Egyptian Funerary Cones." Griffith Institute, #293.
Provenance: private J.H. collection, Beaverton, Oregon, USA; ex-Sands of Time, Washington, D.C.; ex-private Dr. Ulrich Mueller collection, Switzerland, acquired prior to 1978
