This is a fantastic piece. This limestone frieze fragment was carved during the reign of Egypt's most notorious king - Akhenaten, or Amenhotep IV, circa 1353 - 1336 BC. The cartouche retains it's original blue and red pigments, as seen. The colours are vibrant! The cartouche reading 3h-n-Itn, which, literally says Akhen-Aten. Reference for this cartouche can be found on pg 142-143 of Jurgen von Beckerath's Handbuch der Agyptischen Konigsnamen, #10, E4. The piece measures 4" tall, 3.75" wide and 1.25" thick. A fantastically rare and collectible piece. Provenance provided to purchaser. |
