Lot 844
Ancient Egyptian Ushabtis. XXIX-XXX Dynasties, circa early 4th century BC. A framed display of two, medium-size Late Dynastic ushabtis of different individuals, custom mounted in plexiglas shadow box, and rest upon a linen background. Both of related style, and so close together in date. The smaller illustrates somewhat more robust features, while the larger piece is more idealized. Both draped in form fitting Osirid wrappings, each wearing lappet headdresses, and false beards. Each holds in their crossed arms a hoe and an adze. The lower front of each with seven lines of hieroglyphs. Both molded in faience, with light blue-green glazes. Measuring 6-1/2" and 7", respectively. Frame size: 12-1/2 x 11-1/2". Both nicely preserved with modest surface deposits or minor surface flaking. Overall a very pleasing pair.
Estimated Value $900 - 1,200.
