Figurine of a woman lying on a bed

Figurine of a woman lying on a bed

 

 

This limestone object, which was acquired by an exchange with the Museum of Cairo in 1907, represents a naked woman lying on a bed. The piece is distinguished by the particular attitude of the woman who is sleeping on her left side, the head placed on a cushion, and who is holding her folded arms on her chest. The base of the bed is ornamented by a diamond motif. The figurine, which seems to be painted in black and red colours, probably dates from the Late Period.

Group statue of Tuthmosis and Ia

Group statue of Tuthmosis and Ia
This group statue depicts the official Tuthmosis together with his wife or mother Ia seated on a plain seat with a high back with their feet resting on a footstool. The man is wearing a short-sleeved garment over an ankle-length kilt. His head is missing but his wig must have been a short type. The woman is dressed in a long dress and a plain long wig. The outer arms of both figures are placed on their thighs, but their other arms are around ...each other. The carving is summary which indicates that the details were originally rendered in paint.
