Artist's Painting of a Hippopotamus Ca. 1479–1425 B.C. New Kingdom.

The hippopotamus on this ostracon was painted with the sure hand of a skilled artist who had no need of a grid. Other ostraca in the collection were clearly made as templates to be used when transferring an image to the wall of a tomb or a temple or as practice pieces. The purpose for this sketch and others is less clear.

Unknown, Artist's Painting of a Hippopotamus New Kingdom

ca. 1479–1425 B.C.

The hippopotamus on this ostracon was painted with the sure hand of a skilled artist who had no need of a grid. Other ostraca in the collection were clearly made as templates to be used when transferring an image to the wall of a tomb or a temple  or as practice pieces 

Broadly speaking, the Egyptians viewed the world in terms of the opposing forces of order and chaos, and they recognized these forces in the creatures around them. In its benign aspect, the hippopotamus, standing upright, was used to represent the goddess Taweret  the protector of children and pregnant women. But the hippo could also be a dangerous, destructive beast, and the Egyptians had great respect for its power. In its destructive aspect, the hippo was a stand-in for Seth, the god of chaos, and scenes of the king, or the god Horus, or even a deceased tomb owner harpooning a hippopotamus can be read as depictions of the triumph of order over chaos. In this small painting, however, the animal is not shown in an aggressive pose. In this case the image may simply be what meets the eye: a representation of a hippopotamus.

These sandals were part of the funerary equipment belonging to one of three foreign wives of Thutmose III. They are made of thin gold sheet that would not have withstood normal wear; they were intended for funerary use only. The sandals are decorated with details intended to imitate the decoration on leather sandals.

Diadem with a Pair of Gazelle Heads (ca. 1479–1425 B.C.) New Kingdom During her lifetime 𓊢𓂝𓂻 “ˁḥˁ”, a queen 𓇓𓈞𓏏𓅨𓂋𓏏 “ḥm.t-n(y)-sw-wr.ṯ” wore this delicate diadem 𓈍𓏲𓋖 “ḫˁ” tied over her wig 𓈖𓃀𓅡𓄿𓁸 “nb3”. The headband not only identified her elite rank but also identified her as a woman 𓊃𓏏𓁐 “s.t” participating in a cultic performance. Tomb depictions illustrate high-ranking women wearing similar ornaments when they took part in rituals that likely honored important goddesses 𓊹𓏏 “nṯr.t” like 𓏇𓇋 “mı͗” Hathor 𓉡 “ḥw.t-ḥr”, Mut 𓏏𓅑𓁐 “mt” or Sekhmet 𓌂𓐍𓅓𓏏𓆗 “sḫm.t”. The reason for depicting gazelles 𓂾𓋴𓃲𓏪 “gs.w” is not clear, although they are associated with the sun god 𓂋𓂝𓁜 “rˁ”, fertility, and rebirth 𓆣𓂋𓇌 “ḫpri”—all subjects connected to these great 𓉼𓂝𓄿𓏜 “ˁ3” goddesses. Gazelles inhabit the low desert 𓅱𓂝𓂋𓏏𓈊 “wˁr.t” along the edge of the Nile’s 𓎛𓂝𓊪𓏭𓈘𓈗 “ḥpy” floodplain, often traveling 𓈖𓌰𓅓𓂻 “nmı͗” in pairs. This habitat probably explains why these animals figure prominently in a significant myth about the goddesses that takes place in that setting.
