AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fragment of cartonnage from a mummy showing one of the four canopic gods (Hapy, Qebehsenuef, Imseti or Douatmoutef).
Sometimes, the children of Horus were depicted with heads that could identify them: a human head for Imsety, a baboon head for Hapy, a jackal head for Douamoutef, and a falcon head for Qebehsenuef. But sometimes all four were represented with a human head. It is therefore impossible to know with certainty which god is depicted on this fragment of cartonnage.
This fragment of mummy cartonnage consists of a linen fabric covered with stucco and then painted. The pigments are very well preserved; the pink color is particularly rare in Egyptian cartonnages. Late period, 16th–21st Dynasty, 664–332 BCE. Mounted on a black support. Dimensions: 18.2 cm x 15.6 cm – (support dimensions: 21.5 cm x 19.5 cm). Provenance: Belgium, D.V.C. Study.
