Ca. 1360 BC. 18th dynasty, reign of Amenhotep III. A pair of orange-brown Nile silt funerary cones. They are formed of undecorated, roughly conical forms, each with a flat surface that contains five vertical columns of hieroglyphic text in Middle Egyptian, identical on each cone: imAxy xr Wsir iry-pat Imn-Htp Dd n=f Hwy pn Dar m rk tA irn.n sAb Hpw "The revered one under Osiris, the nobleman Amenhotep who is called Huy, celebrated throughout the land, born of the dignitary Hapu." These come from the façade of Amenhotep's tomb in Qurnet Murai, a necropolis at Thebes. Amenhotep son of Hapu was an exceptionally important figure in Egyptian history and thought; he was a philosopher who became so renowned for his wisdom and teachings that he was posthumously deified, one of very few commoners in all of Egyptian history to receive this honour and one of only two to receive it on a large and enduring scale (the other being the architect of the first pyramid, Imhotep). As a deity he became a god of healing, due to his knowledge and wisdom in life, and he was also prayed to in Thebes as an intermediary with the god Amun, transmitting the prayers of those too lowly to seek an audience with Amun himself. Funerary cones like these were typically made for the Theban necropolises, and they were placed above the entrance to the tomb, although their exact function is still unclear; they may have been used as offerings, spells, architectural features, or even as a sort of passport into the necropolis. Size: L: Set of 2: 140 - 145mm / W:65 - 75mm ; 700g. From a London private family collection; formerly acquired on the UK art market in the 1960s - 1970s; thence by descent.

Lot 123

Ca. 323 BC-200 AD. Ptolemaic Dynasty - Roman Period. A group of 54 small objects including glass inlays, beads, and a seashell. Inlays were common in this era and were made to fit into areas of sunken relief, adding vibrant colour to architectural programs and other artwork. Beads are often found in tombs, having been buried as complete necklaces whose cords deteriorated over the centuries. Jewellery was an important part of life for both men and women who could afford it, so they often wished to take their jewellery with them to the afterlife. Size: L:Set of 30+: 3 - 31mm / W:3 - 21mm ; 35g. From a London private family collection; formerly acquired on the UK art market in the 1960s - 1970s; thence by descent.
