Statue of the Scribe Maaniamun

Statue of the Scribe Maaniamun
Ancient Egypt, Late 15th century BC
The statue of the scribe, "accountant of grain" Maaniamun is a marvellous example of an unusual type of Ancient Egyptian sculpture. Maaniamun is shown seated in a sedan, wrapped in a cloak. Only the hands folded on his knees can be seen peeping out from beneath the cloak, through which we can just make out the forms of the figure. Although it first appeared in the Middle Kingdom, this kind of sculpture became ...widespread in the art of the New Kingdom. According to tradition, from the time of the New Kingdom, officials and other private individuals were shown with the facial features of the reigning pharaoh. Maaniamun has the portrait features of Amenhotep II (late 15th century BC). Incised lines emphasize the lines by the nose, while the eyebrows and lids are conveyed not as relief strips but with black paint. The paint has been partially preserved: the face and hands are in brownish-red, the wig and ritual beard reveal traces of black paint, the clothing and the whites of the eyes must have once been white. On the front of the cloak is an inscription containing the text of a funerary prayer to the god Amun-Re and the king of the West - the Land of the Dead - Osiris: "Offering of bread, beer, bulls, geese, clothes, incense, all things good... to the Ka (i.e. the deceased), accountant of grain, Maaniamun, born by the overseer of jewellers, Djehutihetep, born by the lady of the house Didnu."

Statue of Amenemhat III

Statue of Amenemhat III
Ancient Egypt, 19th century BC
This statue of Amenemhat III is the only fully preserved royal stone sculpture in the Hermitage, a superb example of Ancient Egyptian portrait art. Amenemhat III, Pharaoh of the XIIth Dynasty (19th century BC), is shown in traditional pose, seated on a cube-shaped throne and wearing the royal nemes headgear crowned with a sacred cobra. The pharaoh's official dress is extremely simple and consists of a shendit-apron and a ...belt, but the artist paid attention to conveying the broad, high-cheeked face, carefully working up the muscles and placing the eyes in such a way as to make the expression come alive. Amenemhat's naked torso is treated in generalized fashion, in the traditional idealizing style. The Egyptians sought to emphasize the beauty and strength of the ruler, whose outer appearance should embody the unshaking might of the Egyptian state. Cut into the front part of the throne is an inscription bearing the ruler's titles. The Theban origin of the XIIth Dynasty (20th-18th centuries BC) brought to prominence the main god of Thebes, Amun, whose name was included in the pharaoh's names (Amenemhat means "Amun is ahead"). Amenemhat III was one of the most active rulers of the Middle Kingdom and during his reign a number of unique temples were erected. The grandiose memorial temple complex in the region of the Fayum Oasis (the modern city of Hawara) was the embodiment of his might, power and wealth, and was called the Labyrinth by the Greeks, leading Herodotus to write that "The Labyrinth excelled even the pyramids".

THE TOMB OF USERHAT, TT176

Participants stand on a braid surface. Userhat (or his statue?), with one foot forward, holds in his hand a long staff. In front of him stands a priest with a shaven head, dressed of a panther skin over his white under garment, who makes a libation of water with the help of a red vase with a blue edge to the neck. Behind him, another priest, also with the shaven skull but wearing only a white lower garment, makes a fumigation of incense.

On their right, these two registers are edged with a chain motif, black with a red central oval surrounded with white.

The blue hieroglyphs on a yellow background, located on the right, beyond the chain motif, belong to the entry of the second chamber, will be discussed later.
