- Lot Description
Ancient Egypt, New Kingdom Period, mid-18th Dynasty, reign of Thutmose III to Amenhotep II, ca. 1427 to 1400 BCE. A hand-built terracotta funerary cone of a cylindrical form with a stamped hieroglyphic inscription on the front face. Though the cone is missing part of its original back half, the inscription still maintains much of its original creamy yellow glaze. The translation, deciphered by Andrew Baumann of the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago, reads, "The venerated one in the presence of Osiris, the hereditary prince, count, and chief treasurer, Min." Min was the mayor of Tjeny (Thinis), overseer of the prophets of Onuris, and a tutor and master-of-arms for King Amenhotep II. His tomb - TT109 - was found in Thebes at the Sheikh Abd el-Qurna Necropolis. Size: 2.8" L x 3" W x 2.625" H (7.1 cm x 7.6 cm x 6.7 cm).
Provenance: private Lexington, Kentucky, USA collection; ex-Sands of Time Ancient Art, Washington, D.C., USA, acquired in 2005; ex-private Dr. Ulrich Muller collection, Zurich, Switzerland, acquired between 1968 and 1972
