Eindrucksvolles Kalksteinrelief des Iti, Ägypten, Altes Reich, 5. - 6. Dynastie, 2498-2181 vor Christus
Großes Kalksteinfragment, auf dem ein Würdenträger in Schrittstellung nach links dargestellt ist. Er trägt eine kurze Perücke mit eng in Zeilen gesetzten Locken sowie einen Kilt mit fast vertikalen Falten. Über der Figur, die in der Linken senkrecht ein Szepter und in der Rechten waagerecht eine Keule hält, eine mehrzeilige Inschrift. Darin wird der Wab-Priester Iti genannt, „der Aufseher des Magistrats, der selige Iti“. Das Relief dürfte einst als Torpfosten gedient haben. Es zeigt Iti bei Tag vorwärts schreitend, wiedergeboren nach seinem Tode. Neuesten Erkenntnissen zufolge stammt dieses Relief aus einem Grab in Gizeh mit der Nummer D221, das zwischen 1903 und 1907 vom deutschen Ägyptologen Georg Steindorff ausgegraben wurde. VGL: dazu die Erwähnung in "Topographical Bibliography of Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphic Texts, Reliefs, and Paintings", III. Memphis, Oxford 1974, Seite 117. Darüber hinaus ist die Stele publiziert in Grusenmeyer-Woliner A World of Sculpture IV, Seite 124.
Oberfläche gereinigt und an einigen wenigen Stellen stabilisiert, geringe Bestoßungen. Gesockelt. Abmessungen 67 x 35 x 7 cm.

Provenienz: Englische Privatsammlung vor 1989. Danach belgische Privatsammlung Karim Grusenmeyer. Öffentliche Ausstellungen in Brüssel und Maastricht.

An impressive Egyptian limestone relief of Iti, Old Kingdom, 5th - 6th dynasty, 2498-2181 B.C.
Large limestone fragment depicting a striding dignitary to the left. He wears a short wig with curls set tightly in rows, as well as a kilt with almost vertical pleats. Above the figure, which holds in its left hand a scepter in vertical and in its right a mace in horizontal position, an inscription in several lines. Therein the Wab priest Iti is mentioned, "the overseer of the magistrate, the blessed Iti". This relief fragment originates from a burial chapel of a mastaba and served once as a door jamb. It depicts Iti striding forth by day, reborn after death. According to the latest investigations this relief was discovered in the Giza tomb number D221, excavated between 1903 and 1907 by the German Egyptologist Georg Steindorff. See the "Topographical Bibliography of Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphic Texts, Reliefs and Paintings", III. Memphis, Oxford 1974, page 117. The stele is published in Grusenmeyer-Woliner "A World of Sculpture IV", p. 124.
