Descrizione del venditore
Game of Hounds and Jackals
- very rare to found -
Ancient Egypt, Middle Kingdom, ca. 1814–1805 B.C.
Bone
7 cm height without stand
9 cm height with copper stand included.
Provenance:
- Private colecction, London, acquired in 2008 in the london art market. Before ina gentelman collection of english castels.
Condition: Good, original state, see photos.
The last photo it's a parallel of Metropolitan Museum, a compelt set found in: From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Asasif, Birabi, pit tomb CC 25, debris, fro the Carnarvon/Carter excavations, 1910. Object Number: 26.7.1287a–k. You can see: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/543867.
The board rests on four bulls' legs; one is completely restored and another only partially. There is a drawer with a bolt to store the playing pieces: five pins with hounds' heads and five with jackals' heads. The board is shaped like an axe-blade, and there are 58 holes in the upper surface with an incised palm tree topped by a shen sign in the center. Howard Carter and the Earl of Carnarvon reconstructed the game as follows in their publication of the find (Five Years of Explorations at Thebes, A Record of Work Done 1907-1911, London, Oxford, New York, 1912, p. 58): "Presuming the 'Shen' sign ... to be the goal, we find on either side twenty-nine holes, or including the goal, thirty aside. Among these holes, on either side, two are marked ..nefer, 'good'; and four others are linked together by curved lines. Assuming that the holes marked 'good' incur a gain, it would appear that the others, connected by lines, incur a loss. Now the moves themselves could easily have been denoted by the chance cast of knuckle-bones or dice....and if so we have before us a simple, but exciting, game of chance."
Egyptians likened the intricate voyage through the underworld to a game. This made gaming boards and gaming pieces appropriate objects to deposit in tombs.
