Hemi

Hemira, conocida por sus amigos con el apodo de Hemi, fue una sacerdotisa de la diosa Hathor que vivió durante el Primer período intermedio.
De esta mujer conocemos muy pocas cosas, por algunos textos jeroglíficos que aparecen en la falsa puerta, procedente de su tumba en Busiris sabemos algunos detalles de la vida de esta mujer, los cuales iremos desvelando.

 En la falsa puerta aparecen algunos datos, pero como comenté anteriormente no muchos, y la mayoria de ellos se refieren a los suministros de provisiones para el templo de Hathor, por eso poco se sabe de ella aunque por las caracteristicas de esa puerta falsa podemos apreciar algunas cosas.
También comenté que fue una sacerdotisa de la diosa Hathor, es decir, una diosa menor en la zona. Busiris era la capital del IX nomo, en el Delta central y Per Usir significa lugar donde vive o reside Osiris. Al ser esta zona muy importante para las peregrinaciones de numerosos egipcios, era pues una zona en la que el culto importante estaba dirigido a este dios y los cultos a otros dioses era de menor importancia. Y aquí aparece esta mujer como sacerdotisa de Hathor.

 las tres figuras las de Hemira, y que representan toda su vida porque la anciana es la última pero la anterior es la figura de la Hemira "madura",  al menos yo lo veo así, aunque cuando tengamos todos los relieves de la puerta falsa sabremos más.
Además tampoco puede ser una hija o familiar de Hemira (la chiquilla sentada) porque parece que no se citan ni esposo ni a nadie de la familia.

 Casi siempre se habla de los poderosos, de reyes y reinas, nobles , etc por eso hablar un poco de Hemira, es decir, de alguien no importante y que simplemente fue una humilde sacerdotisa que vivió toda una vida dedicada a su función sacerdotal…. y por eso me gustaría poder colgar la foto completa de la falsa puerta, que por cierto hay una inscripción (citada por Wilkinson) , en la que ella pide a todas las personas que pudieran hacer una visita a su tumba : “Por lo que respecta a toda esa gente que diga: pan para Hemi en su tumba, yo soy un espíritu poderoso y los preservaré de todo mal”.

erotic figurine

 

This figurine in blue faience represents a man seated on a small flat seat and playing the harp. Between the legs, one notices a disproportionate phallus and on the head two of two pieces in black colour. This latter iconographic element that one finds on a specific category of female figurines linked to the protection of the birth and of the newly born seems to be a relic of the skin of the lioness in which Harpocrates was wrappedd to assure total protection. The piece, which dates from the Ptolemaic Period, combines in this way the idea of protection, of eroticism and of fertility.

cup

 The lotus flower is an ancient decorative motif in Egyptian art. Even preceding the Old Kingdom cups without bases or feet take on the appearance of a lotus with ivory petals and schist sepals. From the New Kingdom on, the chalice with foot is a common object. Most are made from blue faience, such as this example in Brussels. The top of the chalice takes the form of the flower of a white lotus, indicated by its ribbed petals. The foot, enlarged to improve stability, is decorated with a floral motif. According to mythological texts, the lotus symbolised the flower from which the sun god was reborn each morning on the surface of the water.

Shabti box of the lady Nehemsbast





Shabti box of the lady Nehemsbast
haracteristic shabti box of the Late Period, painted with figures and hieroglyphs naming the owner. It contains faience shabti of the same date and probably therefore original to the burial.This is one of the antiquities acquired by Lady Harriet Kavanagh, a remarkable traveller to Egypt in the 1840s. Her collection of over three hundred items forms an important part of the National Museum's Egyptian holdings. Thanks to her diaries, in the possession of the family, this is a well-documented example of European travel to Egypt before the establishment of archaeological recording in the late nineteenth century.

Rishi coffin
ca. 1640–1504 B.C.
Second Intermediate Period–Early New Kingdom
Discovered in a tomb cut into the courtyard of a larger Middle Kingdom monument, this is an interesting example of a rishi (feathered) coffin. As is the case on most coffins of this type, the crudely-carved and painted face of the deceased is shown framed by the striped nemes headcloth, in this case with short feathers shown covering the top. Around the neck is painted a broad collar with falcon-head terminals; a vulture, its wings outstretched, protects the chest. Covering the body are feathers of various sizes, representing a bird's body, tail,, and wing feathers.

The Female Pharaoh Hatshepsut

The Female Pharaoh Hatshepsut
ca. 1479–1458 B.C.
New Kingdom
This graceful, life-size statue depicts Hatshepsut in female attire, but she wears the nemes–headcloth, a royal attribute usually reserved for the reigning king. In the columns of text inscribed beside her legs on the front of the throne, she has already adopted the throne name Maatkare, but her titles and epithets are still feminine. Thus, she is "Lady of the Two Lands" and "Bodily Daughter of Re." On the back of the throne, part of an enigmatic scene is preserved which probably consisted of two back-to-back goddesses. The goddess has the body of a pregnant hippopotamus with feline legs and a crocodile tail appears behind her legs. Although this resembles Taweret, the goddess who protects women and children, it is probably Ipi, a royal protector who appears in the same position on a statue of the Dynasty 17 king Sebekemsaf I (about 1575 B.C.) in the British Museum.
The pose of the statue, seated with hands flat on the knees, indicates that it was intended to receive offerings and it was probably placed in one of the Temple's chapels. In more public areas, such as the processional way into the temple, colossal sphinxes (31.3.166), kneeling (30.3.1) and standing statues (28.3.18) represent Hatshepsut as the ideal king, a young man in the prime of life. This does not mean that she was trying to fool anyone into thinking that she was a man. She was merely following traditions established more than 1500 years earlier. In fact, the inscriptions on the masculine statues include her personal name, Hatshepsut, which means "foremost of noble women," or a feminine grammatical form that indicates her gender. She had also been in the public eye since childhood, first as the daughter of king Thutmose I, then as principal wife of her half-brother Thutmose II, then as regent to her nephew/step-son Thutmose III, and finally as pharaoh. Only one other statue of Hatshepsut depicts here entirely as a woman (30.3.3).
In the early 1920s the Museum's Egyptian Expedition excavated numerous fragments of this statue near Hatshepsut's temple at Deir el-Bahri in western Thebes. The torso, however, had been found in 1869 and was in the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden in Leiden. In 1998, the Leiden torso and the MET's portions of the statue were reunited for the first time since the original was destroyed in about 1440 B.C.

Tombs of Meketre and Wah



Tombs of Meketre and Wah, Thebes
Egypt
1920
Meketre's tomb was first briefly explored by Egyptologists Daressy and Mond in 1895 and 1902, respectively. The Metropolitan Museum Expedition, under the direction of Museum Egyptologist Herbert E. Winlock, undertook a thorough excavation of the tomb and its model chamber in 1920. Objects in the Museum from the tombs of Meketre and Wah are in galleries 105 and 106.
Background
The hills of the Theban necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile opposite modern Luxor, are studded with tombs used and reused during much of Egypt's pharaonic period and later. One of the most important earlier structures belonged to "the Overseer of the Seal" and "the Chief Steward" Meketre, whose career stretched between the reigns of the Middle Kingdom pharaohs Mentuhotep II Nebhepetre (ca. 2051–2000 B.C.) and Amenemhat I (ca. 1981–1952 B.C.); the period marks the transition from the end of Dynasty 11 to the beginning of Dynasty 12. The tomb is located high on a cliff behind the hill now known as Sheikh Abd el-Qurna.
A broad, steep causeway led up the hillside to the front of the tomb, originally sheltered by a columned portico. The tomb itself consisted of a long corridor cut into the bedrock that ended in a square room, which contained the entrance to the burial chamber. Parts of the structure were lined with a higher-quality limestone and decorated with fine, exquisitely painted relief. A second, parallel tomb was built for a man named Intef, certainly a close relative of Meketre. On the right side of the portico, a small, rough tomb was constructed for a man named Wah, who served in Meketre's household.
Excavations
Although most of the tomb of Meketre was looted in ancient times, the robbers overlooked a rough opening in the floor of the corridor that gave access to a small chamber. Inside, the excavators found "a small, totally untouched chamber crammed with myriads of little, brightly painted statuettes of men and animals and models of boats." The twenty-four wood models depicted the production of various foods and craft items, including bread and beer, carpentry, and weaving. Each small figure was delicately rendered and carefully posed. Other models depicted ships under sail or being rowed. Two exquisite female figures represent personifications of the estates that would have provided funerary offerings for the deceased. These models did not merely depict daily life in Egypt, but rather the production of the items that would sustain the deceased in the afterlife.
The small adjacent tomb of Wah was also found intact. Wah's burial is notable for the masses of linen used to wrap and protect the mummy, a gilded wood and cartonnage mask, and a fine wood statuette of the owner. When the mummy was x-rayed in 1935, various items of jewelry were observed. When the mummy was unwrapped in December 1939–January 1940 (a process no longer condoned by archaeologists), the jewelry included a magnificent silver scarab.
