Lot 890
Large Panel Fragment from a Wood Sarcophagus. Egypt, c. 12th-13th Dynasties, c. 1976-1700 BC. Two rectangular, doweled panels display horizontal and vertical registers of hieroglyphs painted in blue. Dominating these, at lower left a pair of large udjat, or "Eyes of Horus." As is typical for the period the eyes are presented as symmetrically paired and frontal facing. The wood solid and sound, with the paint remarkably well preserved for an early piece like this. Size: 16" x 22-1/4"; on custom stand. A rare artifact, not to be overlooked.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000.
