Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: This is a statue of the head of an Egyptian Goddess from the New Kingdom, reign of Seti I or early years of Ramasses II (ca. 1295-70 B.C.)
This head once belonged to the statue of a female deity. The gender is suggested by the lack of a beard, and the simple hairstyle points to the divine status of the subject. The complete statue represented the unknown goddess seated or standing, either alone or as a part of a group of two or more deities and possibly the king. Stylistically, the piece represents the later--Ramesside--stage of post-Amarna art. While a somewhat melancholy sweetness characterizes earlier post-Amarna heads, this sculpture expresses benign serenity, communicating the ancient Egyptian belief that the gods are supremely aloof from mortal concerns. |
