تعليق حول المادة

  • Material: diorite (Vandier, Manuel III, 672; Vandersleyen, Das alte Ägypten, 254; Chadefaud, Les statue porte-enseignes, 100).
  • Condition: Excellent condition, apart from the loss of the tops of the plumes and some minor damage to the uraei on the Adydos standard. There is also some chipping to the base.

  • مكان العثور

    • Abydos
      اليقين: probable
      تعليق حول هذا المكان: Based on internal evidence (symbol of the nome of Abydos on the standard; Wenennefer was high priest of Osiris in Abydos and conducted the festival ceremonies in Ra-peqer). According to Chadefaud, Statues porte-enseignes, 100, n. (b): “Bon nombre d’autres documents proviennent de ce site, où se déroula la carrière de ce grand-prêtre.” (compare pp. 113-114 and 117-118 for a similar statue of Wenennefer, found in Greece and now in Athens N.106, and a statue of Mery, father of Wenennefer, now in Cairo). Mariette (Abydos II, 36, no. 218) thinks that the statue might have come from the “petit temple de l’ouest” (PM V, 70–71: Central Section, Small Temple = TopBib 502-020-010), because this was the main area of the excavation activities of the European consuls/antiquites dealers around 1820 and perhaps also because a stela of Wenennefer (now Cairo CG 34505) was found there by him. A cult memorial chapel for the Wenennefer and Minmose family was discovered in the west of the Middle Cemetery of Abydos at the site called G 100 (PM V, 74 = TopBib 502-020-040; Raedler 2017, 222). Although Mariette’s suggestion of provenance remains speculative, it is more probable that such a statue of the scale stood in a temple and not in a tomb or memorial chapel (compare H. Satzinger, Der heilige Stab als Kraftquelle des Königs. Versuch einer Funktionsbestimmung der ägyptischen Stabträger-Statuen, in: Jahrbuch der kunsthistorischen Sammlungen in Wien 77, 1981, 9–43 (here: 11–12, 14–15, 28); Raedler 2004, 362, n. 376 considers the provenance suggested by Mariette as „wahrscheinlich“).

    تعليق حول هذا المكان:
    Already in the Louvre at the time of Champollion, 1827.

تعليق حول التأريخ:

  • Based on the cartouches. On the basis of other monuments belonging to Wennenefer, it is likely he held office between years 14 and 50 of Ramesses II (Raedler 2017, 220).

الوصف

  • Standing column statue with standard (statue porte-enseignes). The standing figure of Wenennefer emerges frontally from a rectangular pillar of stone. He holds the Abydos standard in his left hand, the handle of which terminates at the bottom edge of the kilt. The fetish, next to Wenennefer’s head, is topped by three uraei in a pyramidal arrangement and double plumes. The tops of the plumes of the standard would have extended above the top of the pillar, but are now broken away. The pillar extends above the priest’s head, framing it in stone. On the left side of the block around the head is a figure of the king with an arm raised toward the Abydos standard. Wenennefer wears a double layer wig without detail. The wig does not come forward on the shoulders. His eyebrows and eyes are incised and the face is rounded and flat. He wears a schematic $šbjw$ around his throat and a panther skin across his left shoulder. The panther’s head rests just above the navel and the left paw fades into the body. The priest wears a long, flared kilt, tied at the waist with loop, a complex knot, and a sash which drops from the waistband. The sash is inscribed with three small panther heads and schematised animal pelts, below which are geometric panels with cartouches of Ramesses II. Wenennefer’s right hand is placed palm down on the front of his kilt; the fingernails are not depicted. On the right wrist is a raised cylinder-shaped bracelet. The left hand lies in a parallel position to the right, palm down, and outstretched around the pole of the Abydos standard. A flat band of text covers the front of Wenennefer’s ankles. Beneath this his nail-less toes are visible. The sides of his ankles and feet are schematically rendered on the sides of the block. He stands on a small high base. The main text is arranged in four columns on the back pillar of the statue.
