Lot 113 | Grosse Holzfigur des Ptah-Sokar-Osiris
Grosse Holzfigur des Ptah-Sokar-Osiris
Ägypten, ptolemaische Zeit, ca. 200 v. Chr.
beschriftet für die Osiris Musik-Priesterin von Min, Tochter der Ta-Sherit-Min, Herrin des Hauses
79,5 cm hoch

Die schwarz bemalte mumienförmige Figur trägt einen kronenartigen Kopfschmuck, Atef-Krone, bestückt mit den Widder-Hörnern, einer dunkelroten Sonnenscheibe und bunten Federn, die an manchen Stellen bestossen, geplatzt und repariert ist. Der Körper, dessen Bemalung an verschiedenen Stellen Verwitterngs-Erscheinungen und Risse aufweist, trägt noch, in ausgebleichtem Zustand, den Brustschmuck und die Inschrift der Besitzerin. Die Figur steht am Ende einer rechteckigen Plinthe (38,8 x 10,5 x 5,5 cm), welche einen Sarkophag darstellt, der ringsherum mit Hieroglyphen beschriftet ist. Am anderen Ende der Plinthe ist ein Hohlraum, in Form eines Sargs ausgestochen, welcher mit einer Horus-Falkenfigur aus Holz bedeckt ist. Dort war ursprünglich ein Stück der Mumie aufbewahrt. Nach einer alten Notiz, die mitgegeben ist, stammt die Figur wahrscheinlich aus der Nekropole von Akhim, welche nie wissenschaftlich ausgegraben wurde, weil sie 1880 bis 1890 von Grabräubern geplündert wurde. Provenienz: 1994: Rhéa Galerie, Zürich; Privatsammlung Zürich.
