METMUSEUM

This large rectangular coffin with a slightly arched lid most likely dates to the late 17th or early 18th Dynasty. It has been cobbled together from planks and scraps of sycomore wood. The decoration of the long sides is dominated by checkerboard patterns in black and red, with crudely-painted figural scenes added. On one side are female mourners in white kilts facing an offering stand and piles of offerings; below them is a series of jars set into pot stands. On the other side there are two illustrations, one showing a funerary boat (likely making a pilgrimage to the sacred site of Abydos), and the other, in two registers, depicting offering bearers. On the head end, the goddes Isis stands atop a shrine; an additional panel of wood has been added above this, and two wedjat eyes have been painted here rather than on one of the long sides of the coffin. Nephthys and the mortuary god Anubis in the form of a jackal adorn the foot end . A vertical band of inscription on the lid provides an offering prayer dedicated to the Lady of the House, Teti. Inside the coffin were the mummies of two adults and one child, as well as a faience bowl (26.7.905) and a scarab (26.7.432).

This coffin was discovered in one of the tombs in an area of western Thebes called Birabi, or lower Asasif. This area was used for burials until early Dynasty 18, when the site was covered in preparation for the construction of a valley temple at the end of the causeway leading to the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahri.

Relief of a Nobleman

 

Relief of a Nobleman

The exact context of this relief is unknown. The anonymous noble's garment and elaborate wig with lotus flower fillet and intricate locks are perfect attire for an offering scene in the underworld.

The relief clearly illustrates the legacy of the artistic style championed by Akhenaten, Egypt's so-called heretic pharaoh. The projection of the face and neck beyond the wig and the deep carving of the rear of the head are details that continued long after Akhenaten's reign. The elegant treatmnent suggests that the relief comes from a tomb at Saqqara, a vast cemetery in the region of Memphis. At the left a hand holds a sistrum (or rattle) and a flower. The missing person was surely a woman, either the wife or some other relative of the deceased.

Medium: Limestone, painted

Possible Place Made: Saqqara, Egypt

Nehy

Depicted much as she would have appeared in life, the Chantress Nehy sits on a chair and holds in her left hand the symbol of her profession, a sistrum or rattle used in the worship of the goddess Hathor. Judging from her fine clothing and elegant hairstyle, as well as the scale and quality of her statue, we may assume that Nehy was able to afford a fine burial to ensure her place in the afterlife. Most likely this statue, one of two known, graced a tomb at Saqqara, the ancient necropolis of Memphis.

Capilla roja de Hatshepshut.

Capilla roja de Hatshepshut.

Fue restaurada por el Centro de Estudios franco-egipcios de los templos de Karnak.

En la actualidad se encuentra en el museo al aire libre de Karnak.

Hatshepshut mandó su construcción al final de su reinado con el objetivo de servir de lugar de descanso de la barca solar. Posteriormente es terminada la capilla por Tutmosis III, pero años después es desmantelada y reutiilizadas las partes en otras construcciones.
