Amarna Period, 18th Dynasty, 1353-1336 BC. A rectangular limestone relief fragment depicting a profile head facing left with full lips, heavy jawline and lentoid eyes, hatched ties to the rear, six rays terminating in elongated hands extending from the upper edge, the upper part of a frieze of lotus flowers beneath. 7 kg, 56cm overall (22"). Fine condition; repaired. Property of a London gentleman; acquired Bonhams, New Bond Street, London, UK; 1 May 2008, Lot 43; with a print-out of the catalogue entry and a copy of the purchase invoice. The head is that of Nefertiti, queen and Great Royal Wife, of the Pharaoh Akhenaten, and whose name means the beautiful one is here. Nefertiti and her husband were known for a religious revolution, in which they worshipped one god only, Aten, or the sun disc. Akhenaten and Nefertiti were responsible for the creation of a whole new religion which changed the ways of religion within Egypt. With her husband, she reigned at what was arguably the wealthiest period of Ancient Egyptian history. Some scholars believe that Nefertiti ruled briefly as Neferneferuaten after her husband's death and before the accession of Tutankhamun. Her husband abandoned the old royal capital of Thebes due to its association with the old gods, particularly the state deity Amun. Akhenaten issued a ban on the worship of the gods and had the temples closed down, thus marginalising the wealthy and powerful priesthood. As part of his religious revolution Akhenaten built a new capital several miles north of Thebes at a site called Akhetaten, meaning the Horizon of the Aten, now modern Amarna. The new capital had a number of important open air shrines dedicated to the Aten which were profusely decorated with scenes depicting the royal family making offerings to the sun disc. The architects employed a new way of constructing and decorating the temples by using small stones that were carved with sections of the larger friezes, which are known today as talatat, of which this is an example. The scene on this relief depicts Nefertiti standing before an altar table, the top part of which is visible as a line, and offering lotus flowers to the Aten. The Aten was depicted as a disc from which descend beams of light that end in hands; these hands hold the ankh, hieroglyph for life to the noses of the royal family. In scenes found on the talatat, Nefertiti appears almost twice as often as her husband. She is shown appearing behind her husband the Pharaoh in offering scenes in the role of the queen supporting her husband, but she is also depicted in scenes that would have normally been the prerogative of the king. After the death of Akhenaten it is believed that Nefertiti may have started the process of abandoning the worship of the Aten and a return to the old gods, a move that was essential for the political stability of Egypt that had started to disintegrate under the rule of her husband, particularly diplomatic contacts with neighbouring kingdoms. This scene clearly displays the so-called Amarna style in art which broke with long-established Egyptian conventions. Unlike the strict idealistic formalism of previous Egyptian art, it depicted its subjects more realistically. These included informal scenes, such as intimate portrayals of affection within the royal family or playing with their children, and no longer portrayed women as lighter coloured than men. The art also had a realism that sometimes borders on caricature, but which had a lasting effect on Egyptian art.
8th-12th century AD. A bronze Anglo-Saxon or slightly later figurine of a clean-shaven male in close-fitting cap, cowl and short-sleeved tunic; the right arm raised, the left hand lifting the hem of the tunic to expose the genitals; the cap and cowl decorated with small equal-arm cross, a T-shape and a ?-shape. 53 grams, 52mm (2"). Found on the site of a new housing development in Amberfield, Burgh-by-Sands, Carlisle, Cumbria, UK, in 1993 (Grid reference NY 328589"). Dickens, A., Mortimer, R. & Tipper, J. The Early Anglo-Saxon Settlement and Cemetery at Bloodmoor Hill, Carlton Colville, Suffolk, Anglo-Saxon Studies in Archaeology and History vol.13; Rolland, H. Bronzes Antiques de Haute Provence, Paris, 1965; Zarnecki, G., Holt, J. & Holland, T. English Romanesque Art 1066-1200, London, 1984. Recorded with the Carlisle museum services (item 191); accompanied by a print-out of the museum drawings and report. The museum's brief report offers a range of dating possibilities without reaching any firm conclusion. The cap and hood have parallels in Romano-British imagery from the area, and the general execution of the piece is consistent with Roman period bronze figures. The distinctive headgear might be a Phrygian cap, identifying the figure as the god Mithras, who was widely worshipped by the Roman military. The mithraeum at Brocolita (Carrawburgh fort on Hadrian's Wall) was built about 200 AD and is about 40 miles (60 km) from the figure's findspot. An alternative identification would be with the god Priapus, who is sometimes depicted raising his tunic to reveal his genitals while carrying food in the folds of cloth (e.g. the example in the Museum Calvet d'Avignon, published in Rolland, item 136"). An 8th-9th century Anglo-Saxon date for the piece has been suggested on the basis of the use of crosses on the headgear. Figures modelled in the round are however very rare in the Middle Anglo-Saxon period. There are a handful of pendant figurines and other items with exposed genitals (e.g. the dancing warrior on the Finglesham buckle, the Carlton Colville pendant (Dickens, Mortimer & Tipper)) but none is shown lifting a tunic and all date from the 6th-7th century. Robed figures modelled in the round do appear with the development of Romanesque styles in the later 11th century (e.g. the figure of a saint in the Yorkshire museum (Zarnecki, Holt & Holland, fig.226) and the censer-cover in the Steggles collection (ibid. item 261).) A medieval date (12th or 13th century) has also been advanced. There is a strong similarity between the lentoid-section formation of the figure's head and some items of 12th century statuary (e.g. the head of Christ from All Hallows, South Cerney, Gloucestershire now in the British Museum (Zarnecki, Holt & Holland, fig.115)) and the naturalistic pose, details of costume and fineness of casting do favour a 12th-13th century date range. Fine condition; lower legs, hands and part of cap absent. Excessively rare.
