Girl carrying a jar, by the "Hatiay artist" c. 1370 BCE. This lovely piece (in boxwood) was found in the tomb of Hatiay, along with other pieces by the same carver. The pose is bold, with a sense of movement rarely seen in Egyptian statuary. The artist gave her a Bes pendant around her neck, and a gold belt to boot. The pot lid even comes off, to hold ointment inside! ❤ #egypt #arthistory #art #beauty
Quali-Tiy. A costly wood statuette of Queen Tiy c. 1370 BCE
Burial fit for a cat: this small sarcophagus belonged to a kitty named Ta-Mit (literally "girl cat") who was the pet of a prince. It is just 64cm long, and on it we see the cat receiving offerings for the afterlife. On other sides, hieroglyphs invoke Ta-Mit as an Osiris, and goddesses like Isis offer her protection. It is a lovely piece, dating to c.1380 BCE #art #arthistory #culture #death #life #religion #faith #cats #cat #catsofinstagram
I have a travel buddy who goes with me on every trip. It was a gift from my mother (RIP) and I've made sure he visits everywhere possible. Here he is looking very fetching in bow tie, at the pyramid of Khafre, Giza ❤
