DEUX GRANDS OUSHEBTIS
in siliceous clay and turquoise-blue glaze.
Both feature a striated tripartite headdress that surrounds a face with an Osirian beard.
The hands are crossed, clasping a hoe and a cord at the end of which is a dorsal grain bag. The rest of the slender body features hieroglyphs (different from each other). The plain dorsal pillar joins a rather large trapezoidal base, typically Saite, which supports the upright mummy.
Ancient Egypt, XXVIth dynasty.
6th century B.C.
Height: 18 cm
(Very good overall condition, minor accidents)
