Ancient Egyptian Artifacts

A mix of historical scarabs and artifacts depicting ancient Egyptian symbols and figures, showcasing cultural significance across time.

Scarab Incised with Hieroglyphs and a Cruciform Design ca. 1760-1670 B.C. Middle Kingdom The underside of the scarab is finely decorated with a cross design consisting of scrolls centered on convoluted coils. Coil designs are not often combined with cruciform patterns; this is a rare and elaborate example dating to the late Middle Kingdom (late Dynasty 12-Dynasty 13, ca. 1850-1640 B.C.). Hieroglyphs associated with positive ideas such as life and regeneration, namely lotus flowers, the papyrus stem, and the hieroglyph for good and beautiful (nefer), are placed between the scrolls..

Scarab Inscribed with the Name Maatkare (Hatshepsut) Flanked by Two Red Crowns ca. 1479-1458 B.C. New Kingdom During the 1926-1927 excavation season, the Museum's Egyptian Expedition uncovered three foundation deposits along the eastern enclosure wall of Hatshepsut's funerary temple at Deir el-Bahri in Western Thebes. Among the contents were 299 scarabs and stamp-seals. Sixty-five of these are now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo, and the rest were acquired by the Museum in the division of finds.Among the inscriptions on the bases of these scarabs and seals are examples of every title Hatshepsut held, from the time she was "king's daughter" during the reign of her father, Thutmose I; through the time she was queen of her half-brother, Thutmose II; and during her regency and co-reign with her nephew/step-son, Thutmose III.After the death of her husband, Hatshepsut became regent for her nephew who was a small child.

Assyrian This small ivory fragment was probably blackened through exposure to fire when the palace complexes at Nimrud were sacked during the final defeat of Assyria at the end of the seventh century B.C. A stylized palmette is depicted at the bottom of the fragment, below a plain border. Above, the foot of a figure wearing a long garment with fringed border can be seen; to the left, the heel of the figures other foot is still preserved. The original composition was probably similar to other Assyrian carved ivories and reliefs that show processions of court officials and foreign dignitaries bringing tribute to the king. Carved ivory pieces such as this were widely used in the production of elite furniture during the early first millennium B.C., and were often inlaid into a wooden frame using joinery techniques and glue.

Made of gray stone from Mashhad, this small bottle has a neck (now broken) and a short rectangular body carved with two grooves and a small foot on each side. The inside of the neck has been drilled through to a small cavity at the center of the body. The bottle would have fit easily in ones hand. The protruding feet at the bottles base would have allowed it to stand on a flat surface. It is one of many objects excavated at Nishapur, Iran in 1937 and was acquired by the Museum through a division of finds with the Iranian government.. Bottle 450094Fragment of pottery ". Ceramic.

Numerous items in her collection are composite artifacts made from various cultures and time periods reappropriated as modern jewelry creations by or for Muriel.

High demand for shawabtys in the Late Period, a time when as many as 400 or more shawabtys were placed in the tomb with the deceased, gave rise to a specialized container for storing them: the shawabty box. This example is inscribed for the lady of the house, Ditamenpaankh, and was probably one of a pair originally made for her. The single-masted boat on the box's lid is perhaps an allusion to the pilgrimage of the deceased to the holy city of Abydos, the cult city of Osiris, king of the dead. The shawabtys inside are crude, mass-produced examples cast in an open mold. Made of terracotta, their blue paint imitates more costly shawabtys made of faience. As for the shawabty spell, it has been removed from its traditional location on the shawabty's front and relocated onto the sides of box, where it needed only to be written once, thus expediting prodImpression Of Seal Cylinder; 1902-20-37Hearing stone with representation of two climbing lions, placed in two windows, c. 1499 - c. 1699 Hearing stone with representation of two climbing lions, placed in two windows and accompanied by the year 1634.
