Property of a gentleman from Jerusalem; previously in an old Israeli collection; accompanied by a copy of Israeli export permit number 43725.Egyptian soldiers (ahauty) of Middle Kingdom represented in the tomb painting from the grave of Djehutyhotep at Deir el-Bersha are wielding this type of eye-axeheads. The shaft to which the axeheads are attached is furnished with a hand-guard. This traditional Egyptian axe (metnit) had a round or semi-circular blade of copper lashed to a wood staff. By the First Intermediate Period, when territorial conflicts and civil wars arose within Egypt, a new crescent-shaped axe blade made of bronze was devoted specifically to the fight. The design increased the length of the cutting edge, making the weapon more lethal. For this specific lot, 5% import VAT is applicable on the hammer price Fine condition.

From an old French collection and subsequently with a Hertfordshire gentleman from 1990s.Peter Clayton, FCILIP, Dip, Arch, FSA, FRNS writes: 'Herakleopolis, the modern village of Ihnasya, 15 km west of Beni Suef in the southern part of the Fayum, preserves the ancient name of the city, Nesi-nesu. It was a prominent city in the First Intermediate Period (9th and 10th Dynasties), 2134-2040 BC. Its chief god was the ram-headed Harsaphes, later identified with Herakles, hence its later classical name of Herakleopolis Magna. The temple was excavated by Eduard Naville (1891-2) and Flinders Petrie (1904"). A full set of shabtis, 365, one for each day of the year, was provided to stand in place of the deceased in the next world and carry out any agricultural work or heavy labour such as clearing the canals, all mentioned in the text of Chapter Six. It was normal for shabtis to include the name of the mother, shabtis naming the father of the deceased are exceedingly rare. Shabtis from this dynasty and the reign of Nectanebo II (360-343 BC) are particularly noted for their high quality and fine faces. Nectanebo II was the last native pharaoh of Egypt before the Persian conquest. His fate is unknown, possibly he fled south to the Sudan, his unused sarcophagus, found in Alexandria, is in the British Museum. Medieval legend (the Alexander Romance) recounts that he fled to the Macedonian court (i.e. the anti-Persian faction), was attracted by Olympias, wife of king Philip II, and became the father of Alexander the Great.'

From an old French collection and subsequently with a Hertfordshire gentleman from 1990s.Peter Clayton, FCILIP, Dip, Arch, FSA, FRNS writes: 'The incorporation of the name of the goddess Hathor in the deceased’s name suggests his close affiliation with the goddess, possibly because his mother was one of her priestesses or a devotee.
