EGYPTIAN PALE GREEN FAIENCE USHABTI OF KHAEMWASET - TRANSLATED
Ca. 1069 - 664 BC. A faience ushabti standing in a dignified pose, that is enrobed in layers of incredibly lustrous, brilliant pale faience glaze. The figure presents in characteristic ushabti fashion by standing in mummiform with fused legs and feet, crossing both arms atop the chest with a pair of black-painted picks in his hands, and with a seed bag draped from both shoulders down to the middle of his back. The protruding visage exhibits gently modelled features like almond-shaped eyes outlined heavily with black pigment, a flush nose, a slender mouth with indented corners, and tall ears, all framed within the striated lappets of his tripartite wig. A column of hieroglyphic symbols down the front and onto the feet. A vertical inscription is painted on the front reading, “The illuminated one, the Osiris, Sem Priest of Ptah, Son of the King (Prince), Khaemwaset”. Size: 165mm x 40mm; Weight: 200g. Provenance: Private UK collection; Ex. UK art market; English private collection; with Hixenbaugh Ancient Art (New York); formerly in the collection of Leopoldo Benguerel y Godo, Barcelona; acquired in London in the 1960s. This item has been cleared against the Art Loss Register database and comes with a confirmation letter.
