拍品描述

AN EGYPTIAN BRONZE FIGURE OF HARPOKRATES, LATE PERIOD, DYNASTY XXVI This lot is from a single owner collection and is therefore offered without reserve The Jorgen Ruben Gallery Ledger, entry from 2005: “No. 68, HH, Egyptian bronze of striding Harpokrates 26 dyn.” Gallery price: EUR 9,400 or approx. EUR 15,500 adjusted for inflation at the time of writing. Egypt, 664-525 BC. The child god depicted nude, save a pendant incised around his neck, striding forward on an integral plinth, the left leg advanced, his right forefinger raised to his lips, wearing the pschent crown fronted by a uraeus, issuing a braided side-lock. Important Note: For essential information on the Jorgen Ruben Gallery Ledger and provenance documentation please visit here: www.zacke.at/rubencollection_ledger Dimensions: Height 15.8 cm (excl. stand), 19.2 cm (incl. stand) With an associated stand. (2) The figure represents a child god in a striding pose, wearing the red crown of Lower Egypt, which alludes to his royal status. The child god is distinguished from adult gods by a range of iconographic clues: his nudity, the finger raised to the mouth (a child-like gesture), and the sidelock on the right side of his head. He wears an amulet, an attribute common to child gods but not adult gods, as well as a streamer on the back of his crown, armlets and bracelets. Child gods grew in popularity and cult from the Third Intermediate Period onwards, rivaling even the most powerful and ancient gods, especially as temple offerings. Without an inscription, it can be very difficult to securely distinguish and identify particular child gods, but here the red crown likely identifies the god as Harpokrates (Horus the Child), who was the son of Osiris and Isis. Literature comparison: Compare a closely related bronze figure of Harpokrates in red crown, dated Late Period-Ptolemaic Period, 13.2 cm high, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 04.2.615.

EUR 37,000 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing Expert remark: Compare the closely related modeling and manner of casting. Note the larger size (28.5 cm).
