EXHIBITED / PUBLISHED EGYPTIANEXHIBITED / PUBLISHED EGYPTIAN GLASS SARCOPHAGUS EYE**First Time At Auction**
Ancient Egypt, Late Dynastic period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. An alluring, mold-cast glass eye from an Egyptian sarcophagus presenting opaque white sclera and an olive-hued iris surrounding a black pupil, all enveloped by a blue eyelid with an extended cosmetic line. Eyes were an incredibly important part of ancient Egyptian funerary accoutrement. For example, the eyes on sarcophagi could be complimented by paintings of eyes as well, often alongside the symbol for eternity. Eyes provided a window to the outside world for the mummy inside to see. The ancient Egyptian religion required its practitioners to purchase and use a tremendous amount of items for protection in death, and because these items - like these fine, expensive eyes - were usually made by priests, this enriched the priesthood and temples, who were hugely powerful in Egyptian society. Size: 2" W x 0.75" H (5.1 cm x 1.9 cm); 4" H (10.2 cm) on included custom stand.
A similar pair of Egyptian glass eyes were sold by Christie's New York for $12,500 as lot 24 on December 13th, 2013 (Live Auction 2755 "Antiquities").
