Item Details
Description
Amarna, Reign of Akenathon, Ca. 1351-1334 BC. A fragmentry section of a blue kherpresh crown. The crown is studded with a pattern of molded discs repeated across the surface and was likely a component of a depiction of the pharaoh. The pattern of concentric circles has been interpreted in different ways, for example as a stylised representation of animal skin. The Khepresh or blue crown was equated with the victory of the pharaoh over his enemies and thus was worn after a victory as a symbol of triumph. For similar examples, see no. 29, p. 82 Friedman, Gifts of the Nile, Ancient Egyptian Faience. Size: 75mm x 60mm; Weight: 70g Provenance: Prince collection, 1990s-2014; Ex. Private collection 1970s-1990s. This item has been cleared against the Art Loss Register database and comes with a confirmation letter.
