Ptolemaic Period
|
|
| Title: |
Large painted wooden statue of Ptah-Sokar-Osiris, Late to Ptolemaic period |
| Item Code: |
a7961 |
| Description: |
A very large and important polychrome wooden statue of Ptah-Sokar-Osiris, with its original wooden base.
The figure represents a composite deity with the attributes of Ptah (creator god of Memphis), Sokar (a funerary deity) and Osiris (lord of the underworld). The deity is depicted in typical mummiform fashion, surmounted by a crown comprised of solar disc, ostrich plumes and ram's horns. Both the figure (which is detachable) and base have substantially intact gesso overlay and polychrome pigments. Extensive hieroglyphic inscriptions adorn the back of the figure as well as the entire upper section of the base.
From the estate of Mrs H.E. Rawlinson, Melbourne. The statue was acquired in Melbourne in the 1950s by Associate Professor W.A. Rawlinson (University of Melbourne) as a gift from another academic, Dr E.M. Trautner. |
| Origin: |
Late to Ptolemaic period, 664-30 B.C. Egypt |
| Dimensions: |
Height of figure: 67.0 cm / Base: 47.0 x 12.5 x 8.0 cm |
| Condition: |
Both the statue and the base are in a very good state of preservation; there is a stable crack on the shoulder of the figure; there is evidence of some retouching of black pigment on the ram's horns; the dowel rods which attach the crown to the head and the statue to the base are both modern replacements. Apart from this, the piece is in original condition with a remarkable amount of pigment and decoration preserved. |
