  • The statue was found broken in two pieces and has been restored. Large areas of the left side of the base are lost, with areas of chipping along the front of the base and the toes. The face and right hand are broken away and the right forearm and left elbow are chipped. Small areas of the surface are lost from the back area, particularly the final two columns on the left and the last column on the right.

      Kommentar zu diesem Ort: The statue was found during the 1961–1962 season in Sector J/8–9, north-east area of columned forecourt, temple of Thutmose III, Deir el-Bahri (Lipińska, in: ASAE 59, 1966). The original excavation report records the finds more generally: ‘Among the collapsed blocks of the temple, and in particular on the south-east side, a number of votive statues was discovered. Their origin can be traced back to the Ramsis II reign’ (Dabrowski, in: ASAE 58, 1964: 47). On Sector J/8–9, see Lipińska, The temple of Tuthmosis III: statuary and votive monuments, Varsovie 1984, 22.

  • 5 cartouches of Ramesses II on the shoulders and on the sistrum.


Beschreibung

  • Luxor J. 141 is a sistrophorous statue in the begging pose. The figure is seated on a cushion with the body clearly delineated. The top of the head is smooth, representing baldness, with flaring tufts of hair, indicated by incised lines, at the sides. The left hand lies across the knees. The right hand is held to the mouth, probably in a cupped position, that placed the elbow at an angle to the top of the knees.
  • A Hathor-headed naos sistrum stands in front of the legs. On the front of the naos is a uraeus, carved in raised relief, flanked by the cartouches of Ramesses II. The top of the naos bears an image of a striding cow wearing a $mnj.t$ collar with counterpoise, and a Hathoric crown with sun-disc, twin plumes, and uraeus. A figure of a king kneels beneath the muzzle of the cow, wearing a uraeus.
  • The feet of the statue are undifferentiated. The base is uninscribed. The back pillar of the statue ends just before the top of the head; its rough surface suggests it was unfinished (Lipińska, The temple of Tuthmosis III: statuary and votive monuments, Varsovie 1984, 22).
  • The two main texts each begin on the front of the knees on either side of the sistrum and continue round the sides of the statue body in 10 columns each. The first and last verses of the first columns of each text are almost identical textually and visually.
