Statuette of Tutankhamun the Harpooner

Tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62), Valley of the Kings, Thebes.
Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 60710

A gilded, wooden statuette of King Tutankhamun stands on a wooden boat that is painted to represent a papyrus boat. Its details are picked out in gold leaf. The king, wearing the Deshret Red Crown of Lower Egypt, holds a harpoon poised to strike an unseen enemy.

According to the myth of Osiris and Isis, the king here represents their son, Horus, who avenged his father, Osiris. His adversary, Seth, often portrayed as a hippopotamus or crocodile, is not depicted, as he is a potentially harmful image. The figure of the king holds a bronze coiled chain to bind the animal, representing Seth, after spearing it. The statue was found wrapped in linen in a varnish-blackened chest.

Statue of Hetepdief

Old Kingdom, 3rd Dynasty, ca. 2686-2613 BC.
From Memphis (Mit Rahina).
Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 34557

The statue of Hetepdief is one of the earliest examples of private statuary, and more importantly, it is yet the first ancient Egyptian statue shown kneeling in the attitude of prayer while maintaining its conformity with ancient Egyptian artistic conventions.

On his right shoulder can be seen the Horus names of three 2nd Dynasty Kings Hotepsekhemwy, Raneb, and Nynetjer which could indicate that he served each of these monarchs. The name of Hetepdief’s father, Mery Djehuty, can be found on the base.

Mummy of Nesmin

Ptolemaic Period, ca. 200-30 BC.
Excavated at Akhmim.
Now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 86.1.51

This mummy belongs to a man called Nesmin; his name means “The One Who Belongs to (the god) Min.” He was a priest for Min in Akhmim, and from the inscription on his coffin, it is known that his father Djedhor was a priest as well, and that his mother Tadiaset was a musician for Min.

CT scans of his mummy have shown that Nesmin suffered from arthritis and died as a middle-aged man. They also revealed that thirty-one amulets are still within the wrappings. In addition to a wadjet eye on his forehead, he has an amulet representing the god Thoth on each wrist, and two strings with symmetrically arranged amulets on his torso.

A nurse with royal children

This group statue shows a seated woman holding four children, three standing and the fourth sitting on a cushion on her lap. The posture of a nurse and child, or children, was a popular one in private sculpture, although it also appeared in royal statuary. The standing prince and two princesses are naked and have only a lock of hair on their heads, which shows that they are younger than the prince who is sitting on her lap. He is wearing a kilt and holding a royal handkerchief. All four are wearing the heart amulet as well as bracelets inlaid with cornelian.
