An Egyptian Hematite Thoth
Late Period to Ptolemaic Period, 664-30 B.C.
Height 2.3 cm (7/8 inch).
Property from the Estate of Andrew Cunningham Ware
Provenance:
Andrew Cunningham Ware Collection (1945–2024), South Florida, primarily formed in the 1990s-2000s.
Andrew Cunningham Ware (1945–2024) was an avid scholar and amateur Egyptologist whose passion for the ancient world led him to study under the renowned French Egyptologist, Christiane Desroches Noblecourt. Splitting his time between France and South Florida, Ware assembled a diverse collection that reflected his wide-ranging intellectual interests, from ancient Egyptian artifacts to historical documents from the French and Russian Revolutions. His collection, rich with family heirlooms, also features pieces acquired through his travels and academic pursuits. Ware’s family background also adds depth to the collection. He was the great-grandson of Andrew Woodbury Preston, one of the founders of the United Fruit Company. This connection to the world of business subtly informs the collection, where objects of personal significance are intertwined with intellectual curiosity.
