| Description |
English: Statue of princess Redji, granodiorite, Old Kingdom, 3rd Dynasty (2592-2543), Saqqara. Museo Egizio in Turin. Cat. 3065. «The inscription on the base indicates that the statue belonged to a "king's daughter" named Redji. Although the name of her father is not mentioned, the style of the statue dates it to the beginning of the Old Kingdom. Statues like this were not intended as faithfull portraits of the deceased; rather, they served as substitutes of the deceased in the tomb, somehow preserving his or her bodily integrity. This is hence an idealized image of the subject. The style is typical for the period: a rigid posture, a very short neck, and a voluminous wig.»
Français : Statue de la princesse Redji, granodiorite, Ancien Empire, 3e dynastie (2592-2543), Saqqarah. Museo Egizio, Turin. Inv. 3065. « L'inscription sur la base indique que la statue appartenait à une « fille du roi » nommée Redji. Bien que le nom de son père ne soit pas mentionné, le style de la statue le date du début de l'Ancien Empire. De telles statues n'étaient pas conçues comme des portraits fidèles du défunt; ils ont plutôt servi de substituts au défunt dans la tombe, préservant en quelque sorte son intégrité corporelle. Il s'agit donc d'une image idéalisée du sujet. Le style est typique de l'époque: une posture rigide, un cou très court et une perruque volumineuse. » Cartel du musée. |
