Alabaster Perfume Vase of Tutankhamun

Tutankhamun (KV62), Valley of the Kings
Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 62114

This perfume vase of King Tutankhamun is made of four pieces of alabaster cemented together. The idea conveyed by its symbolism is that the Nile will provide the king and queen, whose names are inscribed on the vase, with its contents. The vulture with the so-called Atef crown on its head represents either goddess Mut or Nekhbet protecting the perfume.

Flanking the vase are two deities with pendulous breasts and potbellies, both named Hapi, who personify the Nile and its fertility. They are differentiated by the lily and papyrus clusters on their heads as Hapi of Upper Egypt and Hapi of Lower Egypt, representing the sema-tawy symbol, unification of the kingdom.

The cast is a sad representation of the horrifying event that unfolded nearly two millennia ago in the ancient Roman town of Pompeii. Preserved in time by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius, the cast captures the final moments of a child and their mother, forever frozen in a haunting embrace.

The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD was a catastrophic event that shook the region and left an indelible mark on history.

Statue of Nykara and his Family

This family statue depicts Nykara, whose title is Scribe of the Granary, seated between the two standing figures of his wife and son. If Nykara were shown standing, his dimensions are such that he would tower over the other two figures. Also, although the boy’s nakedness, sidelock of hair, and finger-to-mouth gesture indicate that he is very young, he is depicted as the same height as his mother. These disproportions apparently resulted from the sculptor’s desire to show all three heads in a row.
