DescriptionStatue of the princess - priestess Takushit (4333833765).jpg |
Statue of the princess - priestess Takushit Found on Kom Tourougka, near Lake Mareotis, south of Alexandria, in 1880. Copper alloy with precious metal inlay. End of 25th Dynasty, approximately 670 BC. The woman's name means 'the Ethiopian' and may refer to her relation or marriage to an Ethiopian. Her father was Akanosh II, great chief of the Ma tribe from Libya. The figure's characteristic garment is executed with inlaid decoration, a technique in which the engraved design is inlaid with precious metal wire. The motifs are hieroglyphs and deities of the northeast region of the Nile Delta, Takushit's homeland. The statue had a ritual votive, and funerary use. Egyptian Artifacts. National Archaeological Museum, Athens, Greece. --- Άγαλμα της πριγκίπισσας - ιέρειας Τακουσίτ Βρέθηκε το 1880 στο Κομ Τουρουγκά, κοντά στη λίμνη Μαρεώτιδα, νότια της Αλεξάνδρειας. Κράμα χαλκού με ενθέσεις πολύτιμου μετάλλου. Τέλος 25ης Δυναστείας, γύρω στο 670 π.Χ. Το όνομά της σημαίνει "η Αιθιοπίς" και πιθανόν παραπέμπει σε συγγενικό δεσμό ή γάμο με Αιθίοπα. Πατέρας της ήταν ο Ακανός Β', μεγάλος αρχηγός της φυλής των Μα από τη Λιβύη. Χαρακτηριστικό του αγάλματος είναι το ένδυμα.
