of Horus Statue on Marble Base

Item Type: statue

Louvre Museum, Paris. 20th Dynasty 1085 B.C.
The eye of Horus also called Oudjat or Wedjat, is the left lunar eye which
originates from the struggle between Horus and Seth. In this fight, Horus
loses his left eye which is taken by Seth, but then Horus acquires
spiritual sight, the eye of light. The eye was later healed by Thoth and
returned to Horus and then called “the Oudjat” (“the Whole One”).
It was a symbol of the power of the God of light, and therefore a popular
amulet for protection and good luck. Some oudjat eyes had an arm carrying
the Ankh or the papyrus staff, symbol for “to flourish”. The eye of
Horus was also used as a protection against the evil eye. From the late
old kingdom, two oudjat eyes were placed on the door recesses of tombs.

Egyptian Museum, Cairo. 19th Dynasty 1550.B.C.
The Egyptians didn't worship the animals, but the forces of nature that
they symbolized. Anubis, God of the Dead, represented with a head of a
jackal or simply as a jackal opened the road to the other world and
presided over embalmment. After a funeral, Anubis would take the deceased
by the hand and introduce him into the presence of the sovereign judges
where the soul of the deceased would be weighed. Anubis was the Guardian
of Offerings brought to the ceremony by heirs of the deceased and he also
guarded the mummy from evil forces in the night. When the body was
embalmed, a priest wearing a jackal mask acted as Anubis's representative.
He also was the guardian of the Sacred Esoteric Mysteries. The origin of
this God lay in the fact that jackals could be heard howling in the desert
to the west of the Nile at sunset-at the time when burials took place.

In Egyptian mythology, the falcon was the

Child of Osiris and Isis. As the Incarnate God, his roles were numerous.
He united the cosmic principles of male and female. He acted as the
uniting force between Upper and Lower Egypt. He interceded on behalf of
the King to the Gods and as a living God, it is Horus who bestowed supreme
power and divine kingship to a Pharaoh. From his union with Isis he has
four sons, guardians of the four Canopic Jars that contain the viscera of
the embalmed deceased. Horus most important cult centers were at Edfu,
where the God was venerated in the image of the winged disk, at Kom Ombo,
where as Son of Ra he bore the name Haroeris, and at Heliopolis where he
was regarded as the God of the Morning Sun under the name of Ra-Harakhty.

Item Type: statue

Egyptian Museum, Cairo. 18th Dynasty 1450 B.C.
The word "Sphinx" used by the Greeks derives perhaps from the
Egyptian Shesepankh "Living Statue". It designates a type of
statue joining a human head to the body of a lion and symbolizes
sovereignty combining the strength of the lion with a human intelligence.
The Egyptian Sphinx was, with only a few exceptions in representations of
some Queens of the Middle Kingdom, shown as male. Also, the Egyptian
Sphinx was viewed as benevolent, a guardian, whereas the Greek Sphinx was
invariably malevolent towards people. The Sphinx was the embodiment of
royal power often shown smiting the King's enemies, or the King himself
being represented as a victorious Sphinx trampling on his foes. This
Sphinx represents King Thutmosis III wearing a striped "Nemes"
head cloth protected by an Uraeus and a false beard.

Egyptian Museum, Cairo. 26th Dynasty 600 B.C.
The Ushabti is a figurine, usually mummiform, which was placed in the tomb
to carry out the necessary work in the next world which the deceased might
be called upon to do. Ushabtis were also used to answer in the name of the
deceased for the possible actions that they had done while alive-that is
the origin of the name, Ushabti, “the one that answers”. Whenever the
deceased was called in the next world to sow the fields, carry sand, etc,
the Ushabti was supposed to reply, "Here am I'. The best examples
like the one represented here were inscribed with a version of the sixth
chapter, the Ushabti chapter of the Book of the Dead. It was believed that
the recitation of the text could make the figure come alive to carry out
the obligations asked for in the other world to the deceased. Here the
Ushabti holds a pickaxe and an adze.

Obelisk with Hieroglyphs
|
 Size: 16.5"H (42cm)
Item Type: statue
Material: bonded stone |
Obelisks are tall, slender four sided shafts
carved from a single stone and topped with a point known as a pyramid ion.
Obelisks were known to the ancient Egyptians as Tekhenu. They were
typically inscribed with the names and titles of the king who commissioned
them. Obelisks were considered to be sacred to the Sun God Ra, whose main
center of worship was at Heliopolis where the oldest surviving monumental
obelisk in Egypt still stands. Obelisks were first erected at Heliopolis
and the practice was continued throughout the pharaonic period. Obelisks
probably evolved from the so-called Benben Stone which resembles the
pyramid ion of an obelisk and was considered sacred to the Sun God even
before the appearance of the first pharaoh. These stones were the fetish
of the primeval God Atum (the setting sun) and the God Ra or Ra-Harakhti
(the rising sun). The stones were also associated with the Benu-Bird or
Phoenix. Some small squat obelisks survive from the early years of
dynastic Egypt when they usually stood in pairs before the entrances to
the tombs.

Cats were sacred to Bastet, a sun goddess who represents the warm, life
giving power of the sun. She was known as the goddess of joy and protector
of women. She is usually represented as a lion or cat-headed figure. In
the New Kingdom, the male cat was regarded as an incarnation of the Sun
God and the female cat was equated with the solar eye. Feline figures may
display a scarab, the symbol of the rising sun, engraved on the head or
breast thus showing their solar significance. Hundreds of figures were set
up as votive offerings in the temple of Bastet at Bubastis in order that
the donor might share in the Goddess's grace. Actual mummies of cats were
buried by the thousands in special cemeteries in the area. Cats protected
the temples from snakes. The ancient Egyptians held cats in the highest
esteem and the penalties for injuring or killing a cat were very severe.

 Size: 8"H x 8.5"L (20 x 2 cm)
Item Type: statue
Material: bonded marble

The God Anubis is represented here embalming
the body of the high official Sennedjem. The term embalming (Senefer)
means “to give vitality again” and the embalming house (per nefer)
means “the house of vitality”. For the Egyptians, death was transitory
and the mummification allowed the deceased to be prepared for the trip to
the underworld and immortality. The process of mummification lasted
seventy days. First, the body had ritual washings, then, most of the brain
was taken out through an opening in the nose. The rest was dissolved with
aromatic products. The heart, lungs and viscera were taken out and placed
in four jars. The heart was replaced by one of ceramic or stone. The body
submerged for seventy days in dry natron became incorruptible and finally
it was washed, dried and bandaged with fine linen at the same time that
sacred formulas were chanted.

Giza Plateau, Cairo. 2550 B.C.
Proud monument of a civilization that has long since disappeared, the
great pyramid was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Ancient
Egyptians saw the pyramid as the primal hill, the creator’s birthplace
and throne. It’s golden capstone was their point of contact with the
Gods. According to current archaeological belief, the pyramid was built as
a funerary tomb for Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops in Greek) but the only funerary
element that remains is a stone sarcophagus, and no sign of a mummy or
other funerary elements has been detected. Covering 13 acres, it contains
2.3 million blocks of limestone ranging in weight from 2.5 to 15 tons
stacked to a height of 481 feet for the original pyramid which now stands
at 450 feet high. Before the outer limestone blocks were stripped, each
side measured 755 feet, now 746 feet. The great pyramid was built with an
extraordinary array of mathematical and astronomical measurements that
required advance scientific knowledge. The building effort must have been
monumental for that epoch and probably took place over an extended period
of time.

Horus is the Falcon-God ‘Lord of the Sky’
and symbol of divine kingship. The name Horus is a latinized form of the
greek ‘Hores’ which in turn derived from the Egyptian ‘Hor’. This
name comes from the same root as the Egyptian word for ‘the high’ or
‘far away’. Horus was represented either as a falcon-headed man or as
a falcon. The sky was represented by the wings of Horus and his two eyes
symbolized the sun and the moon, with the right eye being the sun and the
left, the moon. The phrase ‘the eye of Horus’ usually refers to the
moon eye. It was this eye that was lost to Seth and later, after being
recovered, presented to Osiris to aid him in his resurrection. The falcon
was sacred to Horus from the earliest times and the image of a falcon on
its perch became the hieroglyph symbol representing the word ‘God’. In
ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh was seen as a manifestation of the ‘living
Horus’ on the throne of Egypt and each succeeding Pharaoh used the name
of Horus as the first of his titles.

Her name means “The Dwelling of Horus”, for it was thought that Horus
as the Sun God came to rest each evening on her breast before being reborn
with the awakening dawn. Hathor is the great Sky-Goddess that as a
celestial cow gave birth to the universe. She was often represented as a
cow or with bovine attributes such as a cow’s head, cow’s ears or
horns on her headdress. Hathor was the Goddess of Joy and Motherhood and
the embodiment of all that is best in women. She was also considered the
Goddess of music, song, dance and lighthearted pleasure, but she was
essentially a Moon Goddess. She was considered the protector of pregnant
women and midwives. Her main cult centre was at Dendera, where she was
worshipped along with her husband, Horus. Hathor was the Supreme Goddess
of sexual love in Egypt, immediately identified with Aphrodite by the
Greeks. Her temple at Dendera was “The House of Intoxication and
Enjoyment”. Her main attributes were two ritual instruments carried by
her priestesses, the sistrum, a bronze sacred rattle and the menat, a
necklace, thick with beads and a counterpoise long enough to be grasped in
the hand which was only worn by Hathor, but used by her priestesses as a
healing instrument

hall of judgment after death. The deceased is introduced into the hall of
judgment by the jackal-headed God Anubis. His or her heart is placed in
one of the pans of a scale to be weighed against the feather of truth of
the Goddess Maat. Anubis then adjusts the plummet while Thoth, generally
shown as Ibis-headed, writes down the verdict. Nearby a demon, the
“Eater of Hearts”, a composite of crocodile, lion and hippopotamus
waits for a verdict against the deceased, when the heart will then be
thrown to it. Upon a satisfactory verdict the deceased is then led by
Horus before Osiris. The deceased is presented as one “true of voice,
justified” and a suitable candidate to be admitted into the joys of the
netherworld.

Only Kings, Queens and Gods were allowed to
carry this symbol. The ankh is the Egyptian sign of life and indicates
that the King or God holding it has the power to give life or take it away
from lesser mortals. The Ankh as a symbol of the life giving elements of
air and water was often used by a God or Goddess who holds the ankh before
the King’s nose, giving him the “breath of life” or as streams of
water in the form of ankhs running over the King during ritual
purification. The ancient original of this reproduction was a case cover
for a mirror and it was part of the funerary treasures found in the tomb
of King Tutankhamun.

Originally named Tehuti by the Egyptians, Thoth
was given his better known name by the Greeks. They linked him with their
god Hermes, and like Hermes, he was considered to be the god of wisdom,
writing and invention. He was also the messenger and spokesman of the gods
and finally the lord of the moon. He is represented as a man with the head
of an ibis, which is often crowned by the crescent moon supporting the
full moon disk. He often holds a writing palette. The baboon is also
sacred to him, for in Hermopolis, he merged with the local baboon god
Hedj-wer. Thoth invented the arts and sciences, music, and magic, and was
the god of learning, but above all, he was famed for being the creator of
hieroglyphs, and was known as “the lord of holy words”. As the god who
invented writing, he was the protector of scribes. Thoth was occasionally
described as the tongue or heart of Ra. As the god of magic, he was called
“the elder”.

Akhenaton, originally named Amenhotep IV, ruled Egypt for 17 years
(1367-1350 b.c.) together with his beautiful Queen Nefertiti, he was Son
of Amenhotep III. The priesthood of Amun at Thebes, enormously enriched by
the tribute donated by the Pharaohs to the God, became the real power.
Like his father before him, Akhenaton initially recognized the power of
the priests of Amun at Thebes but after the fifth year of his reign, he
changed the state cult of Amun to that of Aten, the unique God represented
as the sun-disk with its rays ending in small hands. He also assumed the
name Akhenaton (“the glory of the Aten”). This began two decades of
religious reforms overthrowing millennia of traditional religious and civil
life. Here, Akhenaton together with his wife Nefertiti and one of their
daughters are seen worshipping the Aten

Temple of Abydos, Egypt. Dynasty XIX, 1300 B.C.
Anubis, God of the Dead, represented with a head of a jackal or simply as
a jackal opened the road to the other world and presided over embalmments.
After a funeral, Anubis would take the deceased by the hand and introduce
him into the presence of the sovereign judges where the soul of the
deceased would be weighed. Anubis was the Guardian of Offerings brought to
the ceremony by heirs of the deceased and he also guarded the mummy from
evil forces in the night. When the body was embalmed, a priest wearing a
jackal mask acted as Anubis's representative. He also was the guardian of
the Sacred Esoteric Mysteries. The origin of this God lay in the fact that
jackals could be heard howling in the desert to the west of the Nile at
sunset-at the time when burials took place. Here, Anubis is shown carrying
the long ‘was’ scepter and the crook and flail, symbols of kingship.

Osiris, the Resurrection God, is the central

name means "The Seat of the Eye". To die and be properly
prepared for the other life is to become one with Osiris in the underworld
over which he rules. Osiris received earthly rule from his father, Geb.
His brother Seth envied his hegemony; he enticed Osiris into a chest and
flung him into the Nile. His wife sought and found his body and with her
own magic powers and the help of Thoth, Nephthys, Anubis and Horus,
restored Osiris to life. Osiris, however already belonged to the world of
the dead, and although after his resurrection he could have reclaimed his
throne, he preferred to maintain his kingdom in the Land of the Dead,
leaving his vindication on earth in the hands of his posthumous son Horus.

Apophis succumbed to her. Sekhmet was represented as a lioness or as a
woman with lion's head. Her weapons were arrows "with which she
pierces hearts" and a fiery glow emanated from her body. The hot
desert winds were regarded as the Goddess's hot breath. She was connected
with the fire-spitting Uraeus of the King and thereby became the "Eye
of Ra". Sekhmet was also regarded as the one "Great of
Magic" whose knowledge of sorcery gave her a place in the service of
healing.

Temple of Ramses II, Abu Simbel, Egypt. Dynasty

The most celebrated of all Pharaohs, Ramses II, is well known for the
length of his reign, the numerous temples he built and his military
campaigns, such as the battle of Kadesh where Ramses II, facing the army
of Muwattali, King of the Hittites found himself surrounded by 2500
Hittite Charioteers with only his personal bodyguard to help him. As the
enemy closed in around him, Pharaoh leaped into his chariot, tied the
reins around his waist to leave his hands free, sent forth a great cry for
help to Amun and charged six times against the Hittites, finally breaking
through and winning the battle. Ramses II was the son of Seti I and was
crowned Pharaoh in 1290 b.c. when he was 18 years old. Ramses II had many
wives but the first and favorite chief Queen was Nefertari. Ramses died at
the age of 85 after ruling Egypt for 67 years.

This relief shows Pharaoh Seti I making an
offering to Amun-Ra. The votive object consists of a ram emblematic animal
of Amun. The oldest and longest venerated ruler of ancient Egypt, Amun
meaning "hidden" and Ra meaning "light" translates to
"hidden light". The sacred creature of Amun is the ram with
curved horns. This image was probably suggested by the ram's procreative
energy, a symbol to his aspect as a god of fertility. "Woserhat",
the gilded, festival boat of Amun had a ram's head at its prow and stern,
and the processional roads to his temple were flanked with ram-headed
lions. Pharaohs repeatedly called themselves "Merry-Amun" or
beloved of Amun. Also, since the ruler was "Son of Ra" it
followed that Amun was father of the Monarch. As God of the Theban
capital, Amun attained the position of supreme state God. Lastly, the God
"He who abides in all things", was imagined as the soul (Ba) of
all phenomena.

Horus was the son of Isis and Osiris. They form the fundamental triad of
the Egyptian religion. Traditionally, Horus is considered the first
Pharaoh of Egypt and at later times, the spiritual King where the Pharaoh
is only his representative. This sculpture originates from the Ptolemaic
period which began when Alexander the Great conquered Egypt from the
Persians in 332 B.C. The Pharaohs of this period were Greek but even so
they not only respected the Egyptian traditions but also dedicated large
funds for the reconstruction of many temples especially in Upper Egypt
like the temple of Hathor at Dendera, the temple of Horus at Edfu and the
temple of Khnum at Esna.

In Egyptian mythology, Horus was the Divine

He united the cosmic principles of male and female. He acted as the
uniting force between Upper and Lower Egypt. He interceded on behalf of
the King to the Gods and as a living God, it is Horus who bestowed supreme
power and divine kingship to a Pharaoh. From his union with Isis he has
four sons, guardians of the four Canopic Jars that contain the viscera of
the embalmed deceased. Horus's most important cult centers were at Edfu,
where the God was venerated in the image of the winged disk, at Kom Ombo,
where as Son of Ra he bore the name Haroeris, and at Heliopolis where he
was regarded as the God of the Morning Sun under the name of Ra-Harakhty.

This scene is a detail from the shrine of Tutankhamun and shows the King
and his wife Ankhesenamun in a boat made of papyrus stems navigating
through the papyrus marshes. Despite the richness of his burial,
Tutankhamun remains an enigmatic figure. He died as young as 16 or 17
years of age. He was probably a son of King Akhenaton by one of his
secondary wives. His wife Ankhesenamun was daughter of Akhenaton and
Nefertiti. Tutankhamun came to the throne as a young child and ruled for
about nine years under the regency of Vizier Ay and the strong influence
of the army commander Horemheb. The main events of his reign were to move
the capital of Egypt back from El-Amarna to Memphis and to begin the
transition from the monotheistic cult of Aton created by Akhenaton back to
the polytheistic religion of Egypt with Amun-Ra again as the main God.

Together with her husband Ptah and her son
Nefertem, Sekhmet made up the Memphis Triad. Her name meant "The
Mighty One". Her nature being that of a Goddess of War, she
accompanied the King to battle and was often described as his mother. She
spread terror everywhere; the henchmen of Seth and even the serpent
Apophis succumbed to her. Sekhmet was represented as a lioness or as a
woman with lion's head. Her weapons were arrows "with which she
pierces hearts" and a fiery glow emanated from her body. The hot
desert winds were regarded as the Goddess's hot breath. She was connected
with the fire-spitting Uraeus of the King and thereby became the "Eye
of Ra". Sekhmet was also regarded as the one "Great of
Magic" whose knowledge of sorcery gave her a place in the service of
healing.

The vulture Goddess Nekhbet was originally worshipped in the city of
Nekhbet but later she became a national Goddess representing Upper Egypt
in the same way that Lower Egypt was represented by the protective snake
Goddess, Edjo of Buto. The animals of the two Goddesses became the
symbolic animals of the two halves of the country. The vulture and the
snake became the royal insignia, especially as adornments for the head, in
fact, they became embodiment of the two crowns. Nekhbet is often shown
with her wings outstretched in protection, often hovering over the Pharaoh
and holding in her claws the hieroglyphic symbol the “Shem”, which
means “to encircle” and “infinity”, and represents lordship over
all that the sun encircles. Nekhbet was also considered a Goddess of
childbirth, often shown suckling the royal child or even the King himself.

In Egyptian mythology, Horus was the Divine
Child of Osiris and Isis. As the Incarnate God, his roles were numerous.
He united the cosmic principles of male and female. He acted as the
uniting force between Upper and Lower Egypt. He interceded on behalf of
the King to the Gods and as a living God, it is Horus who bestowed supreme
power and divine kingship to a Pharaoh. From his union with Isis he has
four sons, guardians of the four Canopic Jars that contain the viscera of
the embalmed deceased. Horus's most important cult centers were at Edfu,
where the God was venerated in the image of the winged disk, at Kom Ombo,
where as Son of Ra he bore the name Haroeris, and at Heliopolis where he
was regarded as the God of the Morning Sun under the name of Ra-Harakhty.

Egyptian Relief, Stone Finish

She is a feline goddess, daughter of the sun god
“Ra”. Bastet was originally a lion goddess, but after 1000 B.C. as her
cult developed, she became more associated with the cat and was considered
to be the center counterpart of the lion goddess Sekhmet. Cats could be
observed skillfully hunting and catching snakes, which had special
relevance for the Egyptians since the snake was the symbol of Apophis, the
demonic enemy of the sun god Ra. So cats became animals sacred to the
solar deity. Bastet was especially worshipped at her temple at Bubastis
(“the house of Bastet”). As a sun goddess, Bastet was the goddess of
plenty and the mistress of pleasure. The celebrating of her festivals were
renowned for being the most lavish of all the gods of Egypt. Bastet was
also associated with the moon and in myth became the eye of the moon. The
Greeks associated her with the Greek goddess Artemis. She is usually
depicted as a cat-headed woman. In one hand she holds either a sistrum, a
kind of musical rattle, or an aegis, in her other hand she often carries a
basket.

embalmed, a priest wearing a jackal mask acted as Anubis's representative.
He also was the guardian of the Sacred Esoteric Mysteries. The origin of
this God lay in the fact that jackals could be heard howling in the desert
to the west of the Nile at sunset-at the time when burials took place.

Tomb of Senneden, Luxor, Egypt. 19th. Dynasty
1290-1224 B.C.
The God Anubis is represented here embalming the body of the high official
Sennedjem. The term embalming (Senefer) means “to give vitality again”
and the embalming house (per nefer) means “the house of vitality”. For
the Egyptians, death was transitory and the mummification allowed the
deceased to be prepared for the trip to the underworld and immortality.
The process of mummification lasted seventy days. First, the body had
ritual washings, then, most of the brain was taken out through an opening
in the nose. The rest was dissolved with aromatic products. The heart,
lungs and viscera were taken out and placed in four jars. The heart was
replaced by one of ceramic or stone. The body submerged for seventy days
in dry natron became incorruptible and finally it was washed, dried and
bandaged with fine linen at the same time that sacred formulas were
chanted.

Bastet
Egyptian Cat Relief, Stone Finish

The first reference to the domestic cat appears
in the eleventh dynasty. Because it was hostile to snakes, it became a
sacred animal of the Sun God. In the New Kingdom, the male cat was
regarded as an incarnation of the Sun God and the female cat was equated
with the solar eye. Feline figures may display a scarab, the symbol of the
rising sun, engraved on the head or breast thus showing their solar
significance. The domestic cat attained special significance as the sacred
animal of the Goddess Bastet. Hundreds of figures were set up as votive
offerings in the temple at Bubastis in order that the donor might share in
the Goddess's grace. Actual mummies of cats were buried by the thousands
in special cemeteries in the area.

Her name was Nes-Amun. She was one of the more than fifty daughters of
Ramses II. Princesses were called Royal Daughters. They often had their
own palaces or at least their own compound within the palace with an
extensive staff of attendants. Sometimes the older daughter would marry
their father after the death of their mother thus becoming the new Chief
Queen. Often when a brother became king, he would marry the older sister
probably following the tradition of the gods Osiris and Isis, who were
brother and sister as well as husband and wife. A princess was often very
involved in religious duties usually as priestesses of the goddess Hathor.
In this wall fragment, Nes-Amun wears an elaborate wig and a white linen

She was the daughter of a high dignitary of the Pharaoh’s court. She was
the wife of King Akhenaten, who ruled from 1379 to 1362 B.C. She was an
influential Queen but she is principally remembered for her personal
beauty. Details of the life of the beauteous Queen are veiled by the mist
of time. One of her six daughters was Ankhesenamun, Tutankhamun’s wife.
Her tomb has never been discovered. This relief is a typical example of
the Amarna style, brought about by King Akhenaton, who ordered the palace
sculptors to abandon Egypt’s long tradition of idealizing portraiture
and insisted that he and his family be shown in candid domestic scenes
such as this one.

instrument was the harp, followed by the flute. In this representation of
a painting in the tomb of Nakht (an astronomer of the God Amun during the
kingdom of Amenhotep III) we see a flute player, A harp player and a youth
playing the norva; the latter one being close to our banjo and made out of
a turtle shell. The three instrumentalists are lightly dressed with
transparent clothes and veils. They have incense sticks over the head to
perfume the body and hair.

Temple of Abydos, Egypt.
Dynasty XIX 1270 B.C.
Her name was Nes-Amun. She was one of the more than fifty daughters of
Ramses II. Princesses were called Royal Daughters. They often had their
own palaces or at least their own compound within the palace with an
extensive staff of attendants. Sometimes the older daughter would marry
their father after the death of their mother thus becoming the new Chief
Queen. Often when a brother became king, he would marry the older sister
probably following the tradition of the gods Osiris and Isis, who were
brother and sister as well as husband and wife. A princess was often very
involved in religious duties usually as priestesses of the goddess Hathor.
In this wall fragment, Nes-Amun wears an elaborate wig and a white linen
dress while presenting an offering to a deity.

Anubis, God of the Dead, represented with a head of a jackal or simply as
a jackal opened the road to the other world and presided over embalmments.
After a funeral, Anubis would take the deceased by the hand and introduce
him into the presence of the sovereign judges where the soul of the

the ceremony by heirs of the deceased and he also guarded the mummy from
evil forces in the night. When the body was embalmed, a priest wearing a
jackal mask acted as Anubis's representative. He also was the guardian of
the Sacred Esoteric Mysteries. The origin of this God lay in the fact that
jackals could be heard howling in the desert to the west of the Nile at
sunset-at the time when burials took place. Here, Anubis is shown carrying
the long ‘was’ scepter and the crook and flail, symbols of kingship.

This relief shows a scene of an offering where the Pharaoh Ptolemy V
offers the spiritual inner eyes of Horus, to Horus, seated on the throne.
Horus was the son of Isis and Osiris. They form the fundamental triad of
the Egyptian religion. Traditionally, Horus is considered the first
Pharaoh of Egypt and at later times, the spiritual King where the Pharaoh
is only his representative. This sculpture originates from the Ptolemaic
period which began when Alexander the Great conquered Egypt from the
Persians in 332 B.C. The Pharaohs of this period were Greek but even so
they not only respected the Egyptian traditions but also dedicated large
funds for the reconstruction of many temples especially in Upper Egypt
like the temple of Hathor at Dendera, the temple of Horus at Edfu and the
temple of Khnum at Esna.

The tomb of Nefertari, from which this wall fragment comes, is the largest

wife. Nefertari was the chief Queen and favorite wife of Ramses II. The
name Nefertari means “the most beautiful of them”. Ramses II devoted
the minor temple of Abu Simbel to the Goddess Hathor and dedicated it to
Nefertari. There, identified with the Goddess, Nefertari intensely
participated in the divine cult. Nefertari gave Ramses II his firstborn
son as well as three other sons and two daughters. Nefertari died in her
forties. Nefertari, with a beautiful white ceremonial garb receives the
breath of life from Isis, the Mother Goddess. The hieroglyphical

magic, and was the god of learning, but above all, he was famed for being
the creator of hieroglyphs, and was known as “the lord of holy words”.
As the god who invented writing, he was the protector of scribes. Thoth

Harakhte, whose name meant

as a god of light were emphasized. He was identified with Ra as he made
his daily journey from the eastern to the western horizon, and especially
with his Khepri and Atum aspects. The roles of the two gods as solar and
as royal deities became inextricably mixed, and under their combined
authority Ra-Harakhte held sway over all Egypt. He was represented as a
falcon or a falcon-headed man wearing the solar disk and triple crown or

assumed the position as god of the creation. He created by means of his
heart and tongue, thus fashioning the world by the power of his word. The

 Size: 13"H (33 cm)
Item Type: statue

Seth is “He before whom the
sky shakes”, God of winds and storms, with lightning and thunder his
heralds. Early in Egyptian history, Seth is spoken of in terms of
reverence. He was known as the Lord of Upper Egypt. Horus being the Lord
of Lower Egypt. It was Seth who stood in the bow of the solar barque of Ra
and slays the enemies of Ra as the ship traverses the sky on its daily
journey. It seems that in very early times the followers of Seth were
conquered by the followers of Horus but they resisted the followers of
Horus and the First Dynasty Pharaoh, Menes when he united Upper and Lower
Egypt. At this point, Seth was discredited and literally demonized, and in
later periods was identified with Apep as a symbol of complete
destruction. Seth was already known as a deity of the night and darkness.
As god of chaos and destruction, Seth represented a necessary force in the
universe, that of strength and violent force which together with the force
of creation maintains the balance of the universe and the cosmic order
that was so important for the Egyptians to maintain and was personified by
the Goddess Maat. Seth was represented as a man with the head of an
unknown animal with square ears, often called the “Seth animal”.

The name Sobek means

names such as Sobek-Hotep, which means “Sobek is merciful”. His main
place of worship was in the Nome of Faiyum of which he was the patron
deity. His temple there had a holy lake where a sacred crocodile named
Pet-Sobek “he who belongs to Sobek” was kept. He was also worshiped at
Kom Ombo, where he replaced Seth in a triad of gods, becoming the husband
of Hathor and the father of Khonsu. He had associations with the god Horus
and a further identification with Ra led to a form of the crocodile with
the solar disk on his head. He was usually represented as either a
crocodile or a man with a crocodile’s head. Sobek was understandably a
god of the water, the Nile river issued from his sweat. He “made the
herbage green” and therefore took on a somewhat Osiris-like character.

Amun is the ram with curved horns. Pharaohs repeatedly called themselves
“Merry-Amun” or Beloved of Amun. Also, since the ruler was “Son of

kingdom, and as Amun-Ra was identified with the Sun God. Lastly, the God
“He who abides in all things”, was imagined as the soul (Ba) of all

The Egyptians didn't worship
the animals, but the forces of nature that they symbolized. Anubis, God of
the Dead, represented with a head of a jackal or simply as a jackal opened
the road to the other world and presided over embalming ceremonies. After
a funeral, Anubis would take the deceased by the hand and introduce him
into the presence of the sovereign judges where the soul of the deceased
would be weighed. Anubis was the Guardian of Offerings brought to the
ceremony by heirs of the deceased and he also guarded the mummy from evil
forces in the night. When the body was embalmed, a priest wearing a jackal
mask acted as Anubis's representative. He also was the guardian of the
Sacred Esoteric Mysteries. The origin of this God lay in the fact that
jackals could be heard howling in the desert to the west of the Nile at
sunset-at the time when burials took place. Here Anubis stands carrying
the ankh in one hand and the “waas” sceptre in the other.

Her name means “The Dwelling

Hathor is the great Sky-Goddess that as a celestial cow gave birth to the
universe. She was often represented as a cow or with bovine attributes
such as a cow’s head, cow’s ears or horns on her headdress. Hathor was
the Goddess of Joy and Motherhood and the embodiment of all that is best
in women. She was also considered the Goddess of music, song, dance and
lighthearted pleasure, but she was essentially a Moon Goddess. She was
considered the protectress of pregnant women and midwives. Her main cult
centre was at Dendera, where she was worshipped along with her husband,
Horus. Hathor was the Supreme Goddess of sexual love in Egypt, immediately
identified with Aphrodite by the Greeks. Her temple at Dendera was “The
House of Intoxication and Enjoyment”. Her main attributes were two
ritual instruments carried by her priestesses, the sistrum, a bronze
sacred rattle and the menat, a necklace, thick with beads and a
counterpoise long enough to be grasped in the hand which was only worn by
Hathor, but used by her priestesses as a healing instrument.

Together with her husband Ptah and her son Nefertem, Sekhmet made up the
Memphis Triad. Her name meant "The Mighty One". Her nature being
that of a Goddess of War, she accompanied the King to battle and was often
described as his mother. She spread terror everywhere; the henchmen of
Seth and even the serpent Apophis succumbed to her. Sekhmet was
represented as a lioness or as a woman with lion's head. Her weapons were
arrows "with which she pierces hearts" and a fiery glow emanated
from her body. The hot desert winds were regarded as the Goddess's hot
breath. She was connected with the fire-spitting Uraeus of the King and
thereby became the "Eye of Ra". Sekhmet was also regarded as the
one "Great of Magic" whose knowledge of sorcery gave her a place
in the service of healing.

The name Sobek means
crocodile. He was a crocodile god much favored by the kings of the twelfth
and thirteenth dynasties. Many of the rulers of this period chose to bear
names such as Sobek-Hotep, which means “Sobek is merciful”. His main
place of worship was in the Nome of Faiyum of which he was the patron
deity. His temple there had a holy lake where a sacred crocodile named
Pet-Sobek “he who belongs to Sobek” was kept. He was also worshipped
at Kom Ombo, where he replaced Seth in a triad of gods, becoming the
husband of Hathor and the father of Khonsu. He had associations with the
god Horus and a further identification with Ra led to a form of the
crocodile with the solar disk on his head. He was usually represented as
either a crocodile or a man with a crocodile’s head. Sobek was
understandably a god of the water, the Nile river issued from his sweat.
He “made the herbage green” and therefore took on a somewhat Osirian
character.

Item Type: statue
Material: bonded marble

Based on an ancient artifact
housed at the British Museum, London. Late Period, 664-332 B.C.
She is a feline goddess, daughter of the sun god “Ra”. Bastet was
originally a lion goddess, but after 1000 B.C. as her cult developed, she
became more associated with the cat and was considered to be the center
counterpart of the lion goddess Sekhmet. Cats could be observed skillfully
hunting and catching snakes, which had special relevance for the Egyptians
since the snake was the symbol of Apophis, the demonic enemy of the sun
god Ra. So cats became animals sacred to the solar deity. Bastet was
especially worshipped at her temple at Bubastis (“the house of Bastet”).
As a sun goddess, Bastet was the goddess of plenty and the mistress of
pleasure. The celebrating of her festivals were renowned for being the
most lavish of all the gods of Egypt. Bastet was also associated with the
moon and in myth became the eye of the moon. The Greeks associated her
with the Greek goddess Artemis. She is usually depicted as a cat-headed
woman. In one hand she holds a sistrum, a kind of musical rattle, and in
her other hand she holds an aegis which is a symbolic shield of protection
in the form of a golden collar decorated with a cat head.

with his Khepri and Atum aspects. The roles of the two gods as solar and

Horus is the Falcon-God
‘Lord of the Sky’ and symbol of divine kingship. The name Horus is a
latinized form of the greek “Hores” which in turn derived from the
Egyptian “Hor”. This name comes from the same root as the Egyptian
word for ‘the high’ or ‘far away’. Horus was represented either as
a falcon-headed man or as a falcon. The sky was represented by the wings
of Horus and his two eyes symbolized the sun and the moon, with the right
eye being the sun and the left, the moon. The phrase “the eye of Horus”
usually refers to the moon eye. It was this eye that was lost to Seth and
later, after being recovered, presented to Osiris to aid him in his
resurrection. The falcon was sacred to Horus from the earliest times and
the image of a falcon on its perch became the hieroglyphic symbol
representing the word “God”. In ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh was seen as
a manifestation of the ‘living Horus’ on the throne of Egypt and each
succeeding Pharaoh used the name of Horus as the first of his titles.

hand like a doll and was presented as an offering to the Gods. This meant
that the king was the representative of divine order since Maat was seen
as legitimizing their authority to govern and to uphold the laws of the
universe which she embodied. Judges were regarded as priests of Maat. In
the hall of judgment at the weighing of the heart the heart of the
deceased was placed on the scales of justice balanced against the feather
of Maat, symbol of justice. Here, Maat stands carrying the ankh in one

baboon god Hedj-wer. Thoth invented the arts and sciences, music, and
magic, and was the god of learning, but above all, he was famed for being
the creator of hieroglyphs, and was known as “the lord of holy words”.
As the god who invented writing, he was the protector of scribes. Thoth

Seth is “He before whom the
sky shakes”, God of winds and storms, with lightning and thunder his
heralds. Early in Egyptian history, Seth is spoken of in terms of
reverence. He was known as the Lord of Upper Egypt. Horus being the Lord
of Lower Egypt. It was Seth who stood in the bow of the solar barque of Ra
and slays the enemies of Ra as the ship traverses the sky on its daily
journey. It seems that in very early times the followers of Seth were
conquered by the followers of Horus but they resisted the followers of
Horus and the First Dynasty Pharaoh, Menes when he united Upper and Lower
Egypt. At this point, Seth was discredited and literally demonized, and in
later periods was identified with Apep as a symbol of complete
destruction. Seth was already known as a deity of the night and darkness.
As god of chaos and destruction, Seth represented a necessary force in the
universe, that of strength and violent force which together with the force
of creation maintains the balance of the universe and the cosmic order
that was so important for the Egyptians to maintain and was personified by
the Goddess Maat. Seth was represented as a man with the head of an
unknown animal with square ears, often called the “Seth animal”.

funeral, Anubis would take the deceased by the hand and introduce him into
the presence of the sovereign judges where the soul of the deceased would
be weighed. Anubis was the Guardian of Offerings brought to the ceremony
by heirs of the deceased and he also guarded the mummy from evil forces in
the night. When the body was embalmed, a priest wearing a jackal mask
acted as Anubis's representative. He also was the guardian of the Sacred
Esoteric Mysteries. The origin of this God lay in the fact that jackals
could be heard howling in the desert to the west of the Nile at sunset-at
the time when burials took place. Here Anubis stands carrying the ankh in

Memphis Triad. Her name meant "The Mighty One". Her nature being
that of a Goddess of War, she accompanied the King to battle and was often
described as his mother. She spread terror everywhere; the henchmen of
Seth and even the serpent Apophis succumbed to her. Sekhmet was
represented as a lioness or as a woman with lion's head. Her weapons were
arrows "with which she pierces hearts" and a fiery glow emanated
from her body. The hot desert winds were regarded as the Goddess's hot
breath. She was connected with the fire-spitting Uraeus of the King and
thereby became the "Eye of Ra". Sekhmet was also regarded as the
one "Great of Magic" whose knowledge of sorcery gave her a place
in the service of healing.

This sculpture shows Isis with
her wings extended in a pose of protection. The name Isis means
"Seat" or "Throne". She was regarded as the symbolical
mother of the King. In myth she sought her dead husband and brother,
Osiris, conceived her son Horus by him, buried him and mourned him
together with her sister Nephtys. Isis was regarded as the “Eye of Ra”
and was worshiped as the "Great of Magic" who had protected her
son Horus from snakes, predators and other dangers; thus she would protect
mortal children also. In the New Kingdom Isis was closely connected with
Hathor whose physical attributes, the cow's horns and sun-disk she
adopted.

a vulture, showing that she was identified with the Goddess Mut.
