查看翻译古埃及 黄铜色 韦普瓦维特神 - 乌普奥特权杖末端。晚期,公元前 626 - 323 年。高 17.5 厘米。
编号 84870839
God Wepwawet - Upuaut scepter terminal
CULTURE: Ancient Egypt
PERIOD: Late Period, 626 - 323 BC
MATERIAL: Solid Bronze
DIMENSIONS: Height 17,5 cm . Height 9,5 cm without stand.
PROVENANCE: Collection of Guy Delbès (1928 - 2019), Paris. Private collection, Barcelona.
CONDITION: Intact.
DESCRIPTION:
Terminal of the upper area of a baton or scepter with the effigy of a canid. The piece has a simple finish, with geometric shapes, inspired by columns, especially a typology characteristic of ancient Egypt such as lotiform columns, influenced by the shapes of the lotus flower. On the small capital with a camping structure, a circular podium raises the flat rectangular base where rests in a slender and elegant form, a dog or jackal in a standing position, is the image of the god Wepwawet.
Wepwawet "the one who opens the roads", deity of the Duat (Beyond), funerary god and of the war in the Egyptian mythology. Wepwawet was represented in the form of a black dog or jackal with a white head, on an ensign, with one or two uraeus emerging from the sides of the paws. His warrior attributes were a mace and a bow. The Greeks interpreted him as a wolf, from which comes the name of Lycopolis, his city.
It is likely that Wepwawet was originally a symbol of the pharaoh, attempting to associate himself with lupine attributes, later deifying himself as a mascot to accompany the pharaoh. Likewise, Wepwawet was said to accompany the pharaoh on hunts, in which capacity it was titled "(one with a) sharp arrow more powerful than the gods alone."
In time, the connection with war, and thus with death, led Wepwawet to be seen as the one who opened the gates through and across the Duat to the spirits of the dead. With this and the similarity of the jackal to the wolf, Wepwawet became associated with Anubis, a deity who was worshipped in Asiut, eventually considering himself his son. Viscous as a jackal, he was also said to be the son of Set. Therefore, Wepwawet is often confused with Anubis. This deity appears in the temple of Seti I at Abydos.
