11cm height, 8.5cm diameter Nice and Intact, Amiran 36:15v. Hyksos period, time of Israelites sojourn in Egypt, 1730 - 1150 B.C.E. Tel el-Yehudiyeh ware is a distinctive pottery of the late Middle Bronze Age approx. 1730 - 1550 B.C.E. (Hyksos period). The ware takes its name from its type site at Tel el-Yehudiyeh (meaning "mound of the Jews") in the eastern Nile Delta of Egypt where it was discovered by Flinders Petrie. This area is in the ancient region of Goshen, area of the Israelites sojourn in Egypt, and within the limits of the modern city of Avaris (which was known in Antiquity as Ramses.) The pottery has also subsequently been found in Southern Israel, on the coastline and along the east coast of Cyprus. The style is of a Canaanite form with similar styles of pottery beginning two hundred years earlier without the inclusions. Similar forms followed in Canaan in the late Bronze Age. It is interesting that this Canaanite form appeared in Goshen at this time and it may be related to the Israelites (originally from Canaan) temporary living in Goshen within the land of Egypt. Tel Yehudiyeh pottery has a distinctive form of decoration, which was applied after slipping and burnishing. The decoration was created by repeatedly pricking the surface of the vessel to create a variety of designs. The multiple holes were filled with chalk or lime, the contrasting white material making the surface design even more dramatic.   « Less

A very nice burial Ushabti in blue faience. This is a quite large Ushabi much larger than most and with very fancy hieroglyphics this is a extra special piece. Stands 6.25'' tall and is in excellent condition save for some minor scrapes. No repairs. This item is an Egyptian USHABTI. These are some of the most interesting and collectable artifacts from ancient Egypt. Ushabties are magical statues found in tombs. Egyptians believed these Ushabties would come to life and serve the dead in their after life and do any unpleasant chore the deceased might be called upon to perform in the afterlife. Because the daily life of ancient Egyptians centered on agriculture, these Ushabties took on the appearance of field workers. They were mummiform, so as to be identified with Osiris, the god of the dead, but their hands were protruding from the bandages so they could do the work.

A truly authentic piece of Ramesses II funerary temple at Thebes. Picked up on a trip to Egypt in 1965 off the ground at the Temple this fragment shows Rameses seated holding a staff in his hand. Absolutely guaranteed authentic. Approximately 10'' tall and 4'' thick. Appears to be sandstone or other porous rock. Circa 1500 BC If the greatness of an Egyptian Pharaoh be measured by the size and number of the monuments remaining to perpetuate his memory, Sethos's son and successor Ramesses II would have to be pronounced equal, or even the superior, of the proudest pyramid-builders. The great Hypostyle Hall at Karnak is his main achievement, and on the west bank at Thebes his funerary temple known as the Ramesseum still retains a large part of its original grandeur.

It seems timeless and ageless, an embodiment of mankind standing in the face of the unknown. Even if this statue bears only the remotest resemblance to the ancient individual who left it as a votive, it seems to radiate with hopes and dreams that are as old as civilization, common to us all, even today. - (P.0539)   « Less

Origin: Egypt Circa: 380 BC to 200 BC Dimensions: 3" (7.6cm) depth Collection: Egyptian Style: 30th Dynasty/Early Ptolemaic Period Medium: Faience Faience, which dates back to pre-dynastic times, of at least 5,000 years, is a glasslike non-clay substance made of materials common to Egypt: ground quartz, crushed quartz pebbles, flint, a soluble salt-like baking soda, lime and ground copper, which provided the characteristic color. The dried objects went into kilns looking pale and colorless but emerged a sparkling "Egyptian blue." Called tjehnet by the ancient Egyptians, meaning that which is brilliant or scintillating, faience was thought to be filled with the undying light of the sun, moon and stars and was symbolic of rebirth. Ancient Egyptians believed the small blue-green objects helped prepare them for eternity in the afterlife. The first examples of amulets appeared in Ancient Egypt as early as 4000 B.C. Believed to possess magical powers that protected the wearer or bestowed upon the properties they symbolized, amulets were worn both by the living as well as the dead. Throughout their evolution, talismans were crafted from a variety of materials including precious metals such as gold and silver, semiprecious stone like jasper and carnelian, as well as other more affordable glazed compositions such as faience. The particular powers of an individual amulet was based upon its specific shape, although the material and even the color of the charm could affect its magical abilities. While many of the amulets created to be worn by the living could also be worn after death, there also existed a specific group of charms that were made specifically to be placed upon the mummified remains of the deceased. All together, amulets represent a important class of Ancient Egyptian art that furthers our understanding of their complex religious beliefs.   « Less

The ancient Egyptians maintained that the sun was propelled across the heavens by means of a scarab, or sacred beetle. With the passing of time, the Egyptians created a series of amulets in the form of this beetle in a great variety of materials, and these were routinely provided with inscriptions in hieroglyphs conveniently accommodated to their stylized flat bottoms. So popular was the scarab that it became the one amulet associated with Egypt by all of her neighbors, and local variations were created in imitation of the Egyptian model. Our scarab is just such a variation. Created in green jasper, the artist has simplified the beetle’s upper body so that there is no division between its thorax and elytra, or wing case. In like manner, the clypeus and head are treated as one unit with the complete suppression of the eyes. Its bottom surface depicts what appears to be a male figure striding to the right with a series of hieroglyphic signs randomly arranged in the field in front of that figure.   « Less
