Ancient Egyptian Clay Objects

Significant archaeological items, including fragments and decorative pieces, representing the artistry of ancient Egypt, often made from faience or clay.

Scarab of the Chamberlain to the Treasurer Kheperka ca. 1760-1670 B.C. Middle Kingdom Administrative changes during Dynasty 12 lead to an increase in bureaucracy and, subsequently, in the production and use of seals. This is reflected in the beginning of the mass production of scarabs, the most popular shape for amulets, in late Dynasty 12 through Dynasty 13 (ca. 1850-1640 B.C.). Thousands of these late Middle Kingdom scarabs bear the names and titles of officials, who would wear them as amulets, but who could also use them to seal documents, containers or doors. However, the scarabs primary function remained that of a protective amulet. Several inscriptions add a funerary epithet to the owners name, indicating that the amulet was manufactured after the owner had passed away. This scarab is inscribed with the name and titles of Kheperka, the chief chamberlain of the Treasurer. A decorative scroll border surrounds the inscription..

Scarab of the Chamberlain to the Treasurer Kheperka Fragment 14th-15th century. Fragment 446469Scarab inscribed for the King's Daughter Hatshepsut 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 co-reign with her nephew/step-son, Thutmose III.This scarab is the sole example recording her title "King's Daughter, Hatshepsut.". Scarab inscribed for the King's Daughter Hatshepsut. ca. 1479-1458 B.C.. Steatite (glazed). New Kingdom. From Egypt, Upper EgScarab Inscribed for the God's Wife Hatshepsut, Living ca. 1479-1458 B.C. New Kingdom This scarab was found in one of the foundation deposits located along the front of the lower court of Hatshepsut's funerary temple at Deir el-Bahri. The inscription on the base is missing a hieroglyph. It reads: the living wife, Hatshepsut. It probably should have read: The Living God's Wife, Hatshepsut. In the late Seventeenth early Eighteenth Dynasties, the title God's Wife was held by the principal queen or the queen mother. Hatshepsut inherited the title while she served as principal queen of her half-brother, Thutmose II. Later, shortly after she took on the titles of king, Hatshepsut passed the title on to her daughter, Neferure (see scarab 27.3.325).This scarab and another from the foundation deposits (27.3.193) have an unusual version of one of the hieroglyphs.

Ancient EgyptianScarab Decorated with Scroll Design ca. 1850-1640 B.C. Middle Kingdom Scrolls and spirals -whether single or interlocking, or in combination with hieroglyphs or floral motifs- already decorate the earliest types of scarabs and are common throughout the first half of the second millennium B.C. While their meaning and source of inspiration remains unknown, scroll designs are also appealing to the eye. A wide variety of combinations, some of which more complex than others, is found on Egyptian scarabs of the Middle Kingdom and scrolls become particularly popular during late Dynasty 12 and Dynasty 13 (ca. 1850-1640 B.C.). While these designs continue to appear on scarabs in the Second Intermediate Period (ca. 1640-1550 B.C.) and on contemporary Canaanite imitations, details in the composition or on the scarabs back or its legs allow the seal-amulet to be more precisely dated..

(Middle Bronze Age IIB-IIC) Second Intermediate Period Around the middle of Dynasty 13 (ca. 1802-1640 B.C.), scarabs carved in the eastern Nile Delta, at a site presently known as Tell el-Daba, show decorative elements that reveal Canaanite influence. Part of the population in this region was of Levantine origin. Soon afterward, at the beginning of the Second Intermediate Period (ca. 1700/1640 B.C), when Canaanites took political control over the Delta, a Canaanite production of scarabs is initiated; these scarabs also show details on their back and sides that distinguish them from Egyptian Middle Kingdom and Second Intermediate Period scarabs. These Canaanite scarabs (ca. 1700-1500 B.C.) imitate Egyptian late Middle Kingdom models (ca. 1850-1640 B.C.) while also introducing new decorative elements and symbols. This Canaanite scarab shows a female face in frontal view with large plume-like extensions on her head. This is an Vase Fragment. Culture: Roman. Dimensions: 1 3/8 × 2 3/4 × 1/4 in.

Such compositions are particularly prevalent on design scarabs of the late Middle Kingdom (late Dynasty 12-Dynasty 13, ca. 1850 -1640 B.C.). They serve as models for the wide array of variations seen on Egyptian scarabs of the Second Intermediate Period (Dynasty 14-17, ca. 1640-1550 B.C.) and on Canaanite scarabs (Middle Bronze Age IIB-IIC, ca. 1700-1500 B.C.)..
