A Necklace of four strands of beads and amulets - Met Museum Collection

Inventory Number: 22.3.324 Middle Kingdom, Dynasty 11, ca. 2051–2030 B.C. Location Information: From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Deir el-Bahri, Tomb of Myt, Temple of Mentuhotep II, Pit 18, mummy of Myt, MMA excavations, 1921

Description:

This brightly colored set of necklaces belonging to a young girl are remarkable not only for their technically brilliant manufacture, the drilled stone beads being quite tiny.

Mayet was only five when she was buried among the older female members of the King Mentuhotep II’s court in his funerary complex at Deir el Bahri. Although her burial was simple, her necklaces, including two others of gold and carnelian ball beads, are some of the finest jewelry that survives from this period and the signs of wear on the beads indicate Mayet, or perhaps another woman, wore them during their lifetime.

Artist's Sketch of a Sparrow. Depicts a delicate sparrow perched on a slender branch.

The artist has captured the bird's essence with swift, flowing lines, showcasing its small, rounded body and distinctive beak.

The sparrow's feathers are suggested through light, feathery strokes, giving the impression of softness and movement in the breeze.

Its wings are subtly hinted at, slightly folded against its body, conveying a sense of calm and tranquility.

The eye, though simple in its design, exudes a sense of curiosity and liveliness, adding a spark to the otherwise understated sketch.

Overall, the artist has captured the essence of this small bird, portraying its beauty and grace through minimalist yet expressive lines.

Esboço artístico de um pardal. Retrata um delicado pardal empoleirado num galho delgado.

O artista capturou a essência do pássaro com linhas rápidas e fluidas, mostrando seu corpo pequeno e arredondado e seu bico distinto.

As penas do pardal são sugeridas através de pinceladas leves e plumadas, dando a impressão de suavidade e movimento na brisa.

Suas asas são sutilmente insinuadas, levemente dobradas contra o corpo, transmitindo uma sensação de calma e tranquilidade.

O olho, embora simples em seu design, exala uma sensação de curiosidade e vivacidade, adicionando uma faísca ao esboço discreto.

No geral, o artista capturou a essência deste pequeno pássaro, retratando a sua beleza e graça através de linhas minimalistas mas expressivas.

 Model Cattle stable from the tomb of Meketre

Middle Kingdom, Dynasty 12, early reign of Amenemhat I, ca. 1981–1975 B.C.

From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Southern Asasif, Tomb of Meketre (TT 280, MMA 1101), MMA excavations, 1920

Plastered and painted wood, gesso

Dimensions: l. 72.5 cm (28 9/16 in); w. 57 cm (22 7/16 in); h. 28.5 cm (11 1/4 in) average height of cattle: 18 cm (7 1/16 in.)

This model of a stable was found with twenty three other models of boats, gardens, and workshops in a hidden chamber at the side of the passage leading into the rock cut tomb of the royal chief steward Meketre, who began his career under King Nebhepetre Mentuhotep II of Dynasty 11 and continued to serve successive kings into the early years of Dynasty 12. Cattle are being fattened for slaughter in this stable. Four oxen feed from a manger in the large stall; two others are being hand fed by the stablemen from a pile of fodder and a sack of grain in the room in front. One of the cattle is so fat he can no longer stand. By the door sits an overseer with a baton in his hand. All the accessible rooms in the tomb of Meketre had been robbed and plundered already during Antiquity; but early in 1920 the Museum's excavator, Herbert Winlock, wanted to obtain an accurate floor plan of the tomb's layout for his map of the Eleventh Dynasty necropolis at Thebes and, therefore, had his workmen clean out the accumulated debris. It was during this cleaning operation that the small hidden chamber was discovered, filled with twenty-four almost perfectly preserved models. Eventually, half of these went to the Egyptian Museum, Cairo, and the other half came to the Metropolitan Museum in the partition of finds. Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Relief Fragment with Two Birds in the Papyrus Thicket

Period: Middle Kingdom

Dynasty: Dynasty 12

Reign: reign of Senwosret I or Amenemhat II

Date: ca. 1925–1900 B.C.

Geography: From Egypt, Memphite Region, Lisht North, Cemetery, MMA excavations, 1906–07

Medium: Limestone, paint

This exquisitely carved and delicately painted relief shows a gray heron and another bird, possibly a purple heron, perched within a mass of papyrus plants. In the upper right, the curved form with painted X-marks likely represents a nest that contained either baby birds or a mother sitting on eggs, both of which are common vignettes in marsh scenes. Originally part of a larger tableau, the small fragment is jewel-like in its fine detail.

Hatshepsut’s granite statues were discovered shattered to pieces at Deir el Bahari Hatshepsut (𓇋𓏠𓈖𓎸𓏏𓄂𓏏𓀼𓏪) “imn-ẖnmt ḥA.t-šps.wt” ‘United with Amun, Foremost of Nobel Ladies’ is kneeling in adoration and offering to small jars of oil to the state god 𓊹 “nṯr” and her divine father 𓇋𓏏�� “it” - Amun-Ra 𓇋𓏠𓈖𓇳𓏤 “ı͗mn-rˁ”. The fragments of these statues 𓂙𓏏𓏭𓀾 “ḫnty” were discovered during several seasons of excavations by the Museum’s Egyptian Expedition. The statues were reassembled as much as possible in the field (see attached photographs). Fragments of the statues given to the Metropolitan Museum were reconstructed in New York by attaching them to metal armatures and filling in the gaps with plaster. Although the plaster has been tinted to blend with the stone, it is possible to distinguish the original stone fragments from the plaster fill.

Book of the Dead for the Chantress of Amun Nauny - Met Museum Collection

Inventory Number: 30.3.31 Third Intermediate Period, Dynasty 21, ca. 1050 B.C. Location Information: From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Deir el-Bahri, Tomb of Meritamun (TT 358, MMA 65), burial of Nauny, first corridor, inside Osiris figure, MMA excavations, 1928–29

Description:

This papyrus was part of the burial of Nauny, a Chantress of the god Amun-Re who died in her seventies. She also bore the title "king's daughter," which probably means that she was a child of the High Priest of Amun and titular king of the Theban area, Painedjem I.

On the papyrus are images and texts from a number of spells. The central scene illustrates Spell 125, better known as the Judgment of Osiris or The Weighing of the Heart. Nauny is in the Hall of Judgment. (...) Behind Nauny stands the goddess Isis, both wife and sister of Osiris. She is identified by the hieroglyph above her head.
