King with Sistra Before Hathor in the Brooklyn Museum, March 2010
King with Sistra (Rattles) before Hathor
Music could appease deities, including goddesses. Here, in a setting of the world bounded by hieroglyphs for earth and heaven, a king as dutiful son stands with sistra before one form of "his mother," the goddess Hathor. As is characteristic of Egyptian goddesses, she holds a papyrus scepter, a symbol of vigor and renewal, and grants the king the "lifetime of Re" and "the years of Atum," meaning eternal life.
Medium: Basalt
Dates: 3rd century B.C.E.
Period: Ptolemaic Period
Dimensions: 7 3/4 x 8 11/16 in. (19.7 x 22 cm)
Collections: Egyptian, Classical, Ancient Near Eastern Art
Museum Location: This item is on view in Egypt Reborn: Art for Eternity, Old Kingdom to 18th Dynasty, Egyptian Galleries, 3rd Floor
Accession Number: 62.46
Credit Line: Charles Edwin Wilbour Fund
