Breasted: 17. Paris, Louvre, E 610 [now: E 10781] (Pl. 59b, 60). This figure is considerably later in time than those from the tomb of Nakhti. Its delicacy of modelling puts it roughly contemporary to Nos. 15 and 16. But it differs in one detail from them: the right hand holds a libation vase instead of the usual bird. On top of the basket, balanced on the head by the raised left arm, lies a model quarter of beef. The modelling is extremely subtle. From Asyut. Height: 104 cm. Boreux, Guide, 11, Pl. LX, right, facing p. 449, and p. 446; Encyclopedie Photographique de L' Art, 1, pp. 48-49. Tooley-1989 p.202: Asyut? Louvre E10781 (E610). H.108.5 cms. Female offering-bearer in walking pose wearing a 2-strap dress ornamented with a black, green and red scale design. The green hair is court style. On the head is a trapezoid basket with convex sides and a leg of beef placed on top. It is supported by the left arm bent sharply at the elbow. The right arm is bent in front of the body, the hand holding a green hs-vase. | |
