Summary

| Description |
English: Dynasty 18, reign of Akhenaten, ca. 1353-1336 B.C. Egyptian alabaster (calcite); obsidian, steatite(?), and colored-glass inlay.
From Thebes, Valley of the Kings KV 55 Although this canopic jar was intended for a funerary context, the face on the lid was carved by a master with the skill and care one might expect in a more public portrait. Whatever the age of the owner at her death, she was given a youthful countenance for the eternal afterlife. The shape of the face, with its long slender nose, sloe eyes, and sensuous mouth, identifies it as a product of the latter half of the Amarna period. The jar and the lid were altered in antiquity, making it extremely difficult to identify the original owner.Français : Vase canope égyptien en albâtre, obsidienne, stéatite (?) et incrustation de verre coloré. XVIII ème dynastie, règne d'Akhenaton. ca. 1353-1336 Av. J-C. |
