Naos with Statue of a Woman
This
slender, elegant figure, carved from sycamore wood, represents the Lady
Ibentina, wife of Satnem. A string of tiny faience beads is tied around
her left arm. She is wearing a three-part wig with braids and her
wrists are adorned with bracelets. She has a small face with wide,
almond eyes and a nicely shaped mouth. The statue is fitted into a
parallelepiped wooden base.
The
paintings around this base represent a formula for offerings dedicated
to the god of the dead, Osiris. He is referred to as Lord of Busiris and
Abydos. The statue is enclosed in a wooden naos with a lid.
