Rare Egyptian Faience Bust - Astronomer or Priest

Item Details

Description

Ancient Egypt, New Kingdom to Third Intermediate Period, 18th to 25th Dynasty, ca. 1550 to 664 BCE. A rare anthropomorphic bust formed from faience that is covered in lustrous, turquoise-hued glaze. The composition exhibits minimalist facial features including a raised nose and black-painted eyes and brows, and the contiguous base is sloped towards the front. Unusual to most Egyptian busts like this is the inclusion of a leopard pelt atop the head - with neck and paws draped around the brow - bearing black-painted spots to delineate the specific animal. Leopard pelts were typically only worn by astronomers or specific types of priests. This artifact may have also been used as a game piece. Size: 1.21" L x 1.23" W x 1.99" H (3.1 cm x 3.1 cm x 5.1 cm); 2.95" H (7.5 cm) on included custom stand.

Collection of Dr. W. Benson Harer, Los Angeles, California, USA, acquired before 2004

#182314

Condition

Minor nicks and abrasions, with a couple of small perforations along verso, fading to glaze pigment in scattered areas, and light earthen deposits, otherwise intact and excellent. Great preservation to overall form and glaze pigment in most areas.
