Consulter la cote et le prix de Egypt, Late Dynastic To Ptolemaic Period, 2001



Description : Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic Period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. A beautiful mold-formed faience offering cup covered with glaze of a vivid sky-blue hue. The cup has a flared foot, a tapered pedestal neck, and a wide, conical cup with a basin roughly half the depth of the body. The lightly flared rim was meant to hold a form-fitting lid, and five faded demotic symbols are brought forth against the body with deep cobalt-blue pigment. Size: 1.7 W x 2.4 H (4.3 cm x 6.1 cm). Faience was known as tjehnet to the ancient Egyptians, meaning brilliant or dazzling. It was made by grinding quartz or sand crystals together with various elements, including copper oxide, which gave it its distinctive blue-green tint. The Egyptians believed that blue faience reflected the color of the river Nile both on earth and in the afterlife, and funerary objects are often made from this material.
