See it on my photo site: and go one to the right for a full length photo of this piece. Late Period, Dynasty 30, reign of Nectanebo 1, c. Shabti of the High Priest of Thoth, Djehutyirdis, born of Nepthysiti. It’s a fine quality piece of work, for the burial of an important person. You can only see a little bit of the inscription on this photo, but the hieroglyphs are also very crisp and sharp. He also wears a false beard like Osiris, to show his owner has successfully been reborn in the afterlife. You can see his agricultural tools, ready for use on his owner’s behalf in the Field of Reeds. It’s made of faience, and it’s really finely detailed. He was a High Priest of Thoth (and I think his name means something like “given by Thoth”), and he lived during the 30th Dynasty (about 2400 years ago). This shabti belonged to a man called Djehutyirdis, who was the son of Nephthysiti. See it on my photo site: and go one left to see it alongside another similar vessel.
Third Intermediate Period, Dynasty 22-25, c. It reminds me of earlier motifs of men with beasts, so perhaps it’s depicting man bringing order to chaos. I’m particularly intrigued by the man holding apart some sort of antelope-y creature and what looks a lot like a rhino (I’m sure it isn’t, but I’m not sure what it is!). I’m not sure exactly what the meaning of these scenes is, but I think they are all to do life, creation and rebirth. The scenes on it are really finely modelled – you can even see the feathers on the bird (next to the man carrying the calf) and the scales on the fish. It dates to the Third Intermediate Period (between 25 years ago) and is said to have come from Tuna el-Gebel (it’s now in the Met in New York, acc. This rather beautiful blue chalice is about 15cm tall, and is made of faience. Probably from the Tomb of Ukhhotep, Meir. And the priest at the rear has a scroll which has an actual offering text written on it (you can’t see it in any of my photos, but the museum has a good one). The priest closest to us holds an incense burner, looking like a spoon on a long stick. You can even see the head of the cat on the shoulder of the priest at the back of the photo.

The canopy over the coffin has a leopard skin on top, and both priests are also wearing leopard skins (their official “uniform”). I like all the little details in this scene. He’s accompanied by two women mourners, representing Isis and Nephthys mourning the dead Osiris, and two priests. It’s showing a part of a funeral – the deceased in his coffin, presumably representing Ukhhotep, is being transported by boat to his final resting place. It apparently bears the name of Ukhhotep although it’s not visible in this photo. This is a model boat which was probably found in the tomb of Ukhhotep in Meir, dating to the 12th Dynasty around 4000 years ago.
First Intermediate Period – Middle Kingdom, Dynasty 11, c. It has a dynamism that some of the more formal art can lack. It’s obvious they’re supposed to be side by side, but is she on his left as her arm position suggests or his right as her legs suggest.īut for all its technical flaws I rather like it.

The artist has clearly had a bit of a tough time working out how to position Tetu and Nefertjentet on their chair. The text labelling each of their children is a mix of hieroglyphs and hieratic. In front of them their 5 daughters and two sons present offerings to them, including a table piled high with food. The couple seated on the right are Tetu and his wife Nefertjentet. It dates to Dynasty 11, and is still quite clearly in a “provincial” First Intermediate Period style, when local elites didn’t have access to the skilled craftsmen of the court of the Old Kingdom kings. This stela makes up in enthusiasm for what it lacks in skill. See it on my photo site: go one to the left for a full length face on photo, and one to the right for a full length profile. But I think it also has hints of the androgynous style of the Amarna period – that’s quite the feminine looking waist from this angle (less so in profile though). The museum says you can tell it was late in his reign because the king’s shape is “portly”. The text associates him with the god Amun-Re, and it’s thought to’ve been made for his third heb-sed festival which was celebrated in Year 37 of his reign. It’s known to be Amenhotep III because his name is inscribed on it.
I took this photo because the detail on this piece is fantastic – I love the pleats on the clothing, and the little knotted cord that holds the fringed shawl in place. This is a close up of the torso of a small statue of Amenhotep III.
