Egyptian scarab of pharaoh Akhenaten with and Udjat eye on the back

ITEM Scarab of pharaoh Akhenaten with and Udjat eye on the back MATERIAL Steatite CULTURE Egyptian PERIOD Amarna Period, 14th Century B.C DIMENSIONS 14 mm x 8 mm CONDITION Good condition PROVENANCE Ex Museum Exhibiton of the Arbeitsgruppe für Biblische Archäologie, Germany (Deaccession) Akhenaten, also known as Amenhotep IV, was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh who reigned during the 18th dynasty. He is particularly famous for his radical religious reforms during the Amarna Period (approximately 1353-1336 BCE). Akhenaten introduced a monotheistic religion centered around the worship of the sun disk, Aten, and he moved the Egyptian capital from Thebes to a newly established city called Akhetaten (modern-day Amarna). This period marked a significant departure from the traditional polytheistic beliefs of ancient Egypt. Akhenaten's reign also saw artistic changes, with a more naturalistic style evident in depictions of the royal family. His successor, Tutankhamun, eventually reversed many of these reforms after Akhenaten's death, restoring the old gods and traditions, making the Amarna Period a unique and transformative episode in Egyptian history. The Udjat Eye, often called the "Eye of Horus" or the "Eye of Ra," is a powerful symbol in ancient Egyptian mythology and is closely associated with protection, healing, and restoration.

Natural Steatite Price Trend, Monitor, Supply & Demand, Forecast | ChemAnalyst

Natural Steatite Prices also known as soapstone, holds a significant position in the market due to its diverse applications and unique properties. Its widespread usage in various industries, coupled with its availability in abundant quantities, has a direct impact on market prices. As of the latest market trends, the prices of natural steatite are subject to dynamic fluctuations influenced by several factors.

One key determinant of natural steatite prices is the geological abundance of deposits. Regions with extensive natural steatite reserves tend to experience lower market prices as a result of the ample supply. Conversely, areas with limited access to these deposits may witness higher prices due to the scarcity of the resource. This geographical variation in availability plays a pivotal role in shaping the market dynamics and pricing structures.

The extraction and processing methods also contribute to the overall cost of natural steatite. Mines employing advanced technologies for extraction and processing may incur higher initial investments but can achieve economies of scale in the long run, leading to competitive pricing. Conversely, operations relying on outdated or inefficient techniques may face higher production costs, subsequently reflecting in elevated market prices for natural steatite.

Furthermore, the quality and purity of natural steatite significantly impact its market value. Variations in mineral composition, color, and texture can result in different grades of steatite, each catering to specific industry requirements. High-grade natural steatite, characterized by superior purity and desirable physical attributes, often commands higher prices in the market. Conversely, lower-grade steatite may find applications in less demanding industries, influencing its pricing accordingly.

Global economic trends and demand-supply dynamics also play a pivotal role in shaping natural steatite market prices. Fluctuations in the global economy can impact the demand for various products, subsequently influencing the demand for natural steatite in industries such as construction, ceramics, and metallurgy. In times of economic prosperity, increased construction activities and infrastructure development may drive up the demand for natural steatite, leading to higher market prices. Conversely, economic downturns may result in reduced demand, causing a downward pressure on prices.

Environmental and regulatory factors contribute to the cost structure of natural steatite mining and processing. Stringent environmental regulations may necessitate the adoption of eco-friendly practices and technologies, adding to the operational costs for companies in the natural steatite industry. Compliance with such regulations can influence market prices as companies incorporate these additional costs into their pricing strategies.

Transportation costs also play a crucial role in determining the final market prices of natural steatite. As a bulk commodity, the transportation expenses from the mining site to end-users or manufacturing facilities can significantly impact the overall cost structure. Factors such as distance, infrastructure, and mode of transportation contribute to the logistical costs associated with natural steatite, influencing its market prices accordingly.

In conclusion, the natural steatite market is subject to a multitude of factors that collectively determine its prices. From geological abundance and extraction methods to quality variations and global economic trends, the interplay of these elements shapes the market dynamics. Understanding the intricate balance between supply and demand, environmental considerations, and logistical challenges is essential for stakeholders in the natural steatite industry to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of market prices. As industries continue to evolve, so too will the factors influencing the pricing structures of this versatile and valuable mineral, reinforcing the need for a comprehensive understanding of the market forces at play.

Cosmetic Vessel of Meretnubt

Egyptian, ca. 1500 BCE (New Kingdom)

This small cosmetic vessel is carved with an openwork frieze of heraldic birds flanking a cartouche with the name "King's daughter, Nubet-meryt." Meretnubt was a daughter of King Thutmose I (1504-1492 BCE). Separating the two heraldic groups are two snakes flanking a column. Above the openwork frieze is carved a series of alternating open and closed lotus flowers which ring the neck of the vessel. The glaze is particularly green in appearance.

Gold Ba amulet with lapis lazuli, turquoise, and steatite, Ptolemaic Egypt, 300-30 BC

from The Brooklyn Museum

[primalmuckygoop]

The modern clan seal dates back twelve reigning matriachs as a method of unifying the very heterogenous tradition of Twowic clan seals into a standardized format. Clans which integrated into the nascent twowi state under mostly voluntary circumstances were allowed to keep their original seals, though they are technically forbidden upon pain of death for treason to be used or displayed, these older clan seals are kept inside the compound reliquary and treated as a religious artifact collectively being all ancestors in lieu of their original symbolic embodiment of the clan. Newer and constructed clans never had the old style seals, while clans who put up a resistance had their clan seals destroyed, and populations split up.

Traditional pre-unification clan seals had a variety of shapes and formats, generally containing the name of the clan, their patron deity's sacred animal or the spiritual ancestor/primary livestock specialty of the clan, alongside more personal and esoteric symbology unique to their region or clan. These seals were carved into soft minerals like steatite and used to make impressions in clay, later felt-paper. As Twowi is a macroethnicity whose populations speak a wide range of related languages, older seals are written in dozens of languages with only a general system in common.

Components of the modern seal are 1- Clan Name 2- the imperial seal (this is a placeholder for the time being) in a more prestigious font than the clan name 3- patron deity of the clan 4- official day of founding, older clans always have their official founding date rewritten to be four years after the reign of the first Twowi Matriarch of Matriarchs; periphery clans maintain clandestine knowledge of their traditional founding dates, but more central ones lose that knowledge. The date is in purely numerical format, as opposed to the traditional method of fully writing it out, and by rendering all clans on paper younger than the heartland leadership cadre, it is another exercise of power. Likewise, all modern seals and clan documentation is mandated to be written in Twowi, the language of the heartland. This cultural primacy of Twowi is why the language family is referred to as Twowic, and the macroethnicity as Twowi. Hence the scholarly neglect of the more widely spoken first languages of Dwo'wî, Towiwi, and Ovē.

There's a movement in the heartland to test the extent of imperial influence by reducing clan patrons to a small, often abbreviated name next to the image of the Imperial Clan's patron. This has been... controversial.
