EGYPT ANCIENT.
Fragment from the left side of a funerary stele.Egypt 26th dynasty ca. 650/600 BC. Fragment of a funerary stele painted over plaster on a wooden plank 14 x 7 x 1.5 cm with a small part of a pictorial scene above on a beige ground and a hieroglyphic inscription in five of six horizontal bands below reading from right to left on an alternating yellow and beige ground. The border begins immediately above the first line of the inscription and next to it appears the reddish-brown bare foot of a standing figure facing the centre that is facing right probably the deceased making offerings to Osiris. The back is also plastered and painted yellow.
A fragment of an ancient Egyptian funerary stele late period. The text from the left half of the stele records offerings for Osiris so the lost right half probably recorded offerings for Horus each with the relevant offer scene above. The text as far as it survives was translated by Andrew Baumann for the epigraphic survey of the University of Chicago's Oriental Institute:line 1: May a royal offering be given to Osiris . lord of Abydos so that he might in turn give a thousand of bread .line 2: . wine offerings and provisions .line 3: everything good and pure on which a god lives .line 4: . Nun in his cavern .line 5: . true of voice son of Panehsi true of voice .Abydos about 90 km northwest of Luxor was the site of the Great Osiris Temple. Nun father of the sun-god Re was the oldest Egyptian god representing the primeval waters of chaos. The son of Panehsi may be the deceased but we know nothing more of the father or son.All images we have seen of similar stelae have been dated in or around the 26th dynasty 664-525 BC and contain two scenes above side by side showing the deceased presenting offerings in one to Osiris and in the other to Horus the latter with the sun disk on his head. A private collector in Bad Harzburg Germany acquired the present fragment in the 1920s. Although it is only about an eighth of the original stele what survives is in good condition with only a few small abrasions or pocks slightly affecting a couple hieroglyphs but never obscuring one and with the colours clear without fading. The hole drilled in the right edge still contains the stump of a wooden peg that would have attached the present plank to the next oneA.J. Baumann The suffix conjugation of early Egyptian as evidenced in the underworld books U. Chicago PhD thesis 1998 not seen but apparently translating the present inscription.l A.J.

DRAWINGS EGYPT. ROBERTSON William.
Egypt & Nubia.Cairo and elsewhere in Egypt and Nubia 1838-1839. Folio 48 x 36.5 cm. Album containing 42 pencil and other drawings a few partly coloured and 3 squeezes some on the album leaves and some loosely inserted mostly of ancient Egyptian and Nubian architecture sculpture bas-reliefs and hieroglyphic inscriptions but also with a few botanical drawings and landscapes with buildings. Most have English-language captions in brown ink and are signed and dated 1838 to 1839. New black half morocco using mid-19th-century marbled paper for the sides.
37 ll. including title-leaf and 7 blanks plus 16 loosely inserted ll.An album of drawings and squeezes of bas reliefs made by William Robertson on a journey from Cairo in December 1838 down the Nile into Nubia reaching as far south as the present-day Egyptian-Sudanese border region including the temples of Abu Simbel in January 1839 then returning via Philae Karnak and other sites to Thebes in February 1839. They give very detailed views of numerous buildings sculptures bas-reliefs and hieroglyphic inscriptions as well as more distant views of landscapes with buildings and three botanical drawings. Since many of the ancient Egyptian sites have been looted and damaged over the years these early drawings and squeezes provide an important record of what was there in 1838/39 and how it was situated before the first photographs were made.While Robertson made most of his drawings on site he drew the Temple at Luxor after a drawing by Achille Émile Prisse d'Avennes 1807-1879 who began exploring and drawing the ancient Egyptian sites in 1836 and published many of his drawings in 1847. A few of the original album leaves are now detached and may have been removed by the artist himself. One inserted drawing is severely foxed and one inserted floor plan is rather dirty but in general the drawings are in very good condition. unknown
