Late New Kingdom, 1300-700 BC.

It is belonging to... / one says to you, Sekhmet is protecting you... / ...in the Place of Truth, Neferhotep son... / son of his son, Merysekhmet'; old gallery sticker '6216' to one edge.

Private collection of T.G.H. James, former keeper of Egyptian Antiquities at the British Museum, who apparently acquired it from the Egypt Exploration Society in 1969 when the premises moved. Acquired from the widow of the late T.G.H. James. Charles Ede, Brook Street, London W1, 2004, lot 66. From the private collection of Egyptologist Paul Whelan, Hertfordshire, UK. Accompanied by copies of the relevant Charles Ede catalogue pages and translation. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.11084-182425. Ostraca are pottery sherds or limestone flakes used as a substitute for papyrus for writing; the text found on Egyptian ostraca include hieroglyphic, hieratic, demotic, Coptic, Aramaic, Greek and Coptic. Many of the Theban hieratic ostraca originate from the village of Deir el-Medina, the village that housed the workers who built the royal tombs in the Valley of Kings and the Valley of the Queens. The name Merysekhmet is uncommon in any period of Egyptian history and there are thought to be three Merysekhmets from Deir el-Medina, making it likely that the name on the ostracon refers to one of these men. Attestations of leonine goddess Sekhmet are rare on New Kingdom ostraca from the Theban area and our ostraca could refer to a private festival in which Sekhmet is invoked for protection of an individual, possibly for Merysekhmet.[A video of this lot is available to view on Timeline Auctions Website.] Fine condition, repaired. Rare and unpublished.
