Ancient Egyptian Beaded Funerary Shroud with Four Sons of Horus
Circa 664-332 BC - Late Period
This intricately detailed funerary mummy shroud, restrung into its original configuration, features a visage of the deceased. The facial depiction includes a broad nose crafted from cream-coloured beads, a blue bead outline defining the contours of the face, black eyebrows, eyes with cream sclera and black pupils, and red parted lips. Below the face, a winged scarab is depicted, and further below, simplified representations of the four sons of Horus are present.
The four sons of Horus, namely Imsety, Hapy, Duamutef, and Qebehsenuef, are traditionally associated with protecting the internal organs of the deceased during the mummification process. Imsety is linked to the liver, Hapy to the lungs, Duamutef to the stomach, and Qebehsenuef to the intestines.
Cf. The Art Institute of Chicago, Reference Number 1894.967.
Dimensions: 200mm x 120mm; weight 45g
Provenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly acquired in early 2000s; previously in 1970s UK collection.
