Nome Gods Bearing Offerings, c. 1391-1353 BC (painted limestone)

499536 Nome Gods Bearing Offerings, c.1391-1353 BC (painted limestone)
by Egyptian 18th Dynasty (c.1567-1320 BC); 66x133 cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: These blocks from a temple wall have preserved their original painted decoration to a remarkable degree. The four portly figures in the lower register bear emblems on their heads identifying them as nomes, or provinces, of ancient Egypt. Carrying trays heaped with offerings and leading sacrificial animals, they personify the bounty of the land. First (on the right) is the Oryx Nome, followed by the Dog Nome, the Falcon Nome, and the Double Scepter Nome.
The face of each nome figure is a miniature portrait of Amenhotep III, and each recites a speech in the kings name. The first figure says, " King Nebmaatra [Amenhotep III] has come, bringing to you every good thing that is in this land, that you may give him all life, stability, dominion, and all health from you." The second, third, and fourth figures bring " all greens, " " the produce of the Two Lands [Upper and Lower Egypt], " and" all offerings and provisions." The god to whom the nomes bring offerings stood in the fragmentary upper register, facing a standing figure of the king, Amenhotep III. The pair of legs on the right belonged to the god; the single foot on the left belonged to the king. The god held a scepter, forked at the bottom, embellished with coils of rope (for eternity), tadpoles (for hundreds of thousands), and notched palm ribs (for years), the whole signifying " an eternity of hundreds of thousands of years."
These blocks may be from Amenhotep IIIs temple at Kom el-Ahmar, ancient Hebenu, in Middle Egypt, dedicated to the god Horus. Hebenu was the capital of the Oryx Nome, which leads the procession of nome gods. Amenhotep IIIs temple was later dismantled, and its blocks were reused in the foundations of another structure, which would account for the excellent preservation of the paint.); John L.

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of the "Nome Gods Bearing Offerings" dating back to c. 1391-1353 BC in ancient Egypt. The painted limestone blocks, now housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, have remarkably preserved their original decoration. In this piece, four portly figures grace the lower register, representing different nomes or provinces of ancient Egypt. Adorned with emblems on their heads and carrying trays overflowing with offerings and sacrificial animals, they symbolize the abundance of the land. Each figure's face is a miniature portrait of Amenhotep III, and they recite speeches in his name. The Oryx Nome takes precedence on the right side followed by the Dog Nome, Falcon Nome, and Double Scepter Nome. They bring every good thing from Amenhotep III to bestow upon those who offer him life, stability, dominion, and health. Above them stands a fragmentary god receiving these offerings while facing a standing figure of King Amenhotep III himself. The intricate details include an eternity scepter adorned with coils of rope for eternal existence and notched palm ribs signifying countless years. These blocks are believed to be remnants from Amenhotep III's temple dedicated to Horus at Kom el-Ahmar (ancient Hebenu) in Middle Egypt. Later dismantled but reused in another structure's foundations explains why their paint has been so well-preserved over time. Through this remarkable photograph print by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we can marvel at both the artistic mastery and historical significance captured within this ancient Egyptian masterpiece.
