Description: | Rectangular plaque amulet, steatite, white; one main face bears at lower left the lower part of a figure wearing long robe or kilt seated on block throne, and upper right corner in hieroglyphs title of king 'good god' (?), remainder defaced by chiselling; other main face has at left image of seated ruler or deity (Amunet?) wearing modius and double falcon plume, tight-fitting robe, long line of ribbon from back of modius half-height down behind back of figure to shoulder, line joining arm hanging to external side, at upper right in hieroglyphs a vertical sign or signs (throne as writing/crown of Isis? or group 'words spoken'?) to right of name Amun, remainder defaced by chiselling - originally scene of Amun and Amunet around ruler? inscribed in hieroglyphs along long edge on one side with title, throne-name and epithet apparently of Thutmes IV 'good god Menkheperura beloved of Amun', and along other long edge djed and ankh hieroglyph. Defacements of the main faces are not Atenist removal of images and name of Amun, as name Amun is intact along the edge and one face (unless that is recutting in restoration?!), so perhaps in removal of image of a ruler e.g. Hatshepust or Akhenaten as Amenhotep IV (if so, why is cartouche along side that of Menkheperura = Thutmes IV?) . | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ | Rights holder: | University College London | Subjects: | Egyptology | Temporal: | name=Late Dynasty 18; start=-1390; end=-1295 | Source: | UCL Museums | Identifier: | http://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums/objects/LDU... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
