• PUBLISHED EGYPTIAN EFFIGY SOTHIC DOG,
  PUBLISHED EGYPTIAN EFFIGY SOTHIC DOG, EXHIBITED LACMAEgypt, late Ptolemaic to Romano-Egyptian Period, ca. 1st century BCE to 3rd century CE. An exceedingly rare, mold-formed terracotta canine, known as the Sothic Dog, exhibiting a charming form and rich, layered symbolism. The alert dog stands atop all fours with a raised head, its eyes gazing upwards with woeful brows between a pair of upturned ears and a conical snout, and with a thick tail curled along the rump. The "Sothic Dog" name is derived from the goddess Sopdet ("Sothis" in Greek) and her associated with the star Sirius. The rising of Sirius in the summer sky signaled the inundation of the Nile River and thus the beginning of the Egyptian New Year, which was celebrated with a festival called "The Coming of Sopdet". Sopdet's husband Sahu, representing the constellation Orion, is perhaps represented by the 3 pendants lining the dog's collar. This is especially convincing since Canis Major, the constellation in which the star Sirius resides, is one of the great hunter Orion's 2 large hunting dogs. Size: 4.1" L x 2.125" W x 4.1" H (10.4 cm x 5.4 cm x 10.4 cm) Egyptologist Dorothea Arnold writes, "Egyptians were closely attached to their dogs, which served as hunting and watchdogs, status symbols, and companions. About seventy dog names are known from texts and inscriptions. They bear striking resemblance to the names given [to] modern pets - from Ebony, Blacky, and Trusty to Son-of-the-Moon, North-wind, Good-for-Nothing, and, more simply, The Fifth or The Sixth." Later, "Many dog burials have been found in Egypt, some with stele bearing the animal's name or with a sarcophagus, and at least one Eighteenth Dynasty leather dog collar has survived." (Arnold, Dorothea. "An Egyptian Bestiary." The Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin, Spring 1995, Vol. LII, p. 57) The goddess Sopdet, known since the Early Dynastic Period as "the bringer of the new year and the Nile Flood", was regarded as one of the most important Egyptian deities given her association with water, the Nile River, the start of the New Year known as Wep Renpet (Wp Rnpt, "The Opening of the Year"), and the renewal of the agricultural cycle as a whole. The rising of Sirius in the early summer skies (known as the "dog star" in late June to early July) also heralded the beginning of the busy trading season as the elevated water levels in the Nile River enabled larger volumes of merchant vessels and trade ships to traverse its vast commercial network; this was celebrated with a festival of "The Coming of Sopdet". This annual renewal of Sirius in the night sky is known as the "Sothic rising" and has been used extensively by modern Egyptologists to accurately construct and revise the historical chronology of ancient Egypt. Sopdet was later called Sothis in Greco-Egyptian times, in association with the star Sirius, but was also known as Sopdet-Anubis due to depictions of the goddess as either a large dog or as a woman riding on the back of a large dog. The symbolism only deepens when including Sopdet's husband Sahu ("the hidden one"), who represented the constellation Orion, since the ancient Egyptian's name for the center star in Orion's belt was called "Sah". The 3 ornaments dangling from the dog's collar perhaps represent the 3 stars comprising the "belt" in the Orion constellation, the center of which being the largest and representing Sahu, which lends credence to associating the goddess Sopdet with this canine effigy.

• EXHIBITED / PUBLISHED EGYPTIAN PREDYNASTIC
  EXHIBITED / PUBLISHED EGYPTIAN PREDYNASTIC NAQADA I BRE...Ancient Egypt, Predynastic Period, Naqada I to II, ca. 3650 to 3200 BCE. A stunning jar of tall and slender form that is hand-carved from breccia exhibiting mottled red and cream hues. The piriform vessel stands upon a smooth base and features 2 pairs of drilled lug handles, each set with diagonal grooves between them suggesting a rest for a carrying strap. The exterior has been polished to be generally smooth, but the interior surface gives a better understanding of the rough material that the artisans had to work. Size: 4.5" W x 7.4" H (11.4 cm x 18.8 cm) In addition to being quite striking, this jar represents a technological leap forward for the ancient Egyptians. In the early Pre-Dynastic period, artisans hollowed out hard stone vessels using hand-held stone borers and abrasive desert sand. Then, during the Naqada II period, the invention of copper tubes used to drill very hard stones (in conjunction with sand as an abrasive), allowed people to drill finer forms - like, for example, these lug handles. However, copper drills only allowed artisans to drill cylindrical items, and so the hollowing out of bulbous vessels like this one still required use of an elongated stone borer in the form of a figure-eight to get under the shoulder. Imagine the hours of work that went into making this single jar!
