Kommentar zur Materialität

  • There are several large cracks through the fragment and surface chips and wear to much of the body area. Apart from a large chip from the left side, the inscriptions on the rear surface of the back pillar are in excellent condition; the columns on the sides have a number of small areas of damage which obscure the readings in places.

      Kommentar zu diesem Ort: Recorded by Petrie (1903, Abydos II, pg. 36), as found by him between Nov. 1902 and April 1903 during his excavations of the precinct of the Osiris temple. He published no further information about the findspot, nor is it mentioned in his journals. The header of his plate xxxvii is simply “Abydos, Temple”. The object is listed in PM V, 47 as “Finds from Temple of Osiris and In or Near Enclosure” (TopBib 502-010-010-020).

Kommentar zur Datierung:

  • Based on cartouche of Ramesses II on the right shoulder. Simon Connor (personal communication, November 2020) notes the following: “concerning the dating, I would consider it early 19th dynasty (and the cartouche on the shoulder doesn’t disagree with this dating). From the photos I don’t see traces of re-carving and what remains of the face seems to fit well with Ramesses II’s style. The shape of the ear is also consistent with Ramesses II, with the tragus and helix ending parallel (before Ramesses II, the helix goes inside the ear, while the tragus ends vertically: here drawing on the work of Ray Johnson, see Connor 2020, 89-90, with n. 11). Here the quality is perhaps not the highest, so this criterion should be taken with caution, but it is one more argument in favor of an “original”, non-reused Ramesside piece. I would say that I wouldn’t completely reject an 18th dynasty dating, but that there is no strong argument in favour of it.”
