  PRE-COLUMBIAN HUARI MUMMY BUNDLE PAINTED FACEPre-Columbian, southern Peru, Huari culture, ca. 600 to 900 CE. Perhaps the finest mummy bundle from this region we have seen. Most examples have painted faces directly onto the textile bundle, while this extraordinary example was painted on a secondary section of textile attached to a wooden frame, then attached to the bundle, the nose of wood and added separately. The head is adorned with white triangular eyes with deep black pupils. The wooden face is attached to a woven "sack" tied with original strings, the upper head covered with two different textile headdresses, one a form of woven reed mat of a type we have not seen before. The interior is filled with reeds. Size: 10" W x 21" H (25.4 cm x 53.3 cm) For the people of the Andes, death was not the end of life. It marked the transition into a new existence in the underworld. This transition was ensured through funerary rites and the careful preparation of the funerary bundle and tomb, so that society's leaders could be transformed into ancestors.

• ROMANO-EGYPTIAN CARTONNAGE MUMMY
  ROMANO-EGYPTIAN CARTONNAGE MUMMY MASK, EX-CHRISTIE'SIt's not often we start a listing by stating the provenance, but in this case the pedigree is almost as impressive as the piece. Sold - Christies, December 1996; Ex Alan Dershowitz (legal and TV fame) / Carolyn Cohen collection, MA; published (Illustrated on the cover) in 2013 - Art of the Ancients, Aphrodite Ancient Art; featured - Pawn Stars, History Channel, August 14, 2017. Egypt, Romano Egyptian Period, ca. 2nd century CE. A stunning mummy mask made from gesso-lined linen called cartonnage depicting the elegant visage of a youthful female. Presented in vibrant polychrome, the serene woman peers forward with almond eyes, elongated outer canthi, and sweeping brows lined with thick lashes, her head extending outwards and slightly downwards in a manner consistent with "Egyptian Group" masks. Full lips outlined with red pigment, a slender nose, and a rounded chin further emphasize her feminine grace, all beneath a headdress that rests low along the forehead. Dense decorations in traditional Egyptian stylization further embellish her timeless beauty. Size: 5.25" L x 13.625" W x 18.75" H (13.3 cm x 34.6 cm x 47.6 cm); 20.125" H (51.1 cm) on included custom stand. The top of her head just in front of her diadem bears a red band containing a blue scarab flanked by a pair of segmented columns, 2 seated deities of unknown identity, an additional pair of columns, and 2 wadjet eyes. Beneath a curving brown band is a white-ground panel featuring a central sun disc with dangling triangular ornamentation - perhaps representing lotus blooms - flanked by the goddess sisters Isis and Nephthys as well as 2 papyrus columns and a pair of unidentified zoomorphic funerary deities holding their arms towards the sun. Outlining her head is a grand diadem bearing a plaited pattern above horizontal stripes in red and green, the midsections dotted with lotus buds, the terminals with recessed pink rosettes, and a pair of uraeus cobras emanating out from either side of a sun disc on the front. The upper corners show columns of polychrome panels, 2 panels containing a mummiform Osiris wearing an Atef crown and Horus or Ra in mummiform donning the Pschent crown. Stretching across the brow are 2 sphinxes atop column capitals as well as images of the ibis-headed god Thoth wearing an Atef crown, a left-facing human deity with a sun disc resting between a pair of horns; beneath this decorative register is a right-facing procession of royal uraei. Below the cobras are 2 windows each showing the sisters Isis and Nephthys anointing the body of the mummiform god Osiris beside sections of blue, pink, and white segmentation. Further below are 2 columns showing a rosette, a wadjet eye, and a recumbent Anubis jackal holding a pesesh-kef - a tool used during a ceremony known as the "opening of the mouth" - along with the body of the deceased resting atop a leonine-form embalming table and 2 sets of the 4 Sons of Horus wearing blue headdresses. An additional pair of sphinxes and a pair of Horus falcons with outstretched wings lie below the funerary fraternities, and an inverted T-shaped panel of triangles, petite floral beads, blue stripes, diagonal striations on a pink ground, checkerboarding, and additional painted beadwork completes the elaborate and visually dazzling composition. The verso of the mask shows the beige, khaki, and brown-hued linen framework that has been impregnated with bituminous material to solidify the linen as well as create a general likeness of the deceased that would hold for eons to come. One lower section even shows a plaster patch job that was included to perhaps fix a hole or abrasion made by the embalmer. Given the size of both the sarcophagus mask itself as well as the interior head cavity, this was likely made for a young woman from a prominent, middle-to-upper-class family. While gilding was a popular decorative element for later Egyptian sarcophagi, embellishing with gold was reserved solely for those who could afford such luxuries. The lack of gilding on this example would perhaps indicate the somewhat lower status of this individual's family, however the artistry, polychrome pigments, and overall elevated craftsmanship suggests that perhaps the deceased was someone who favored substance rather than superficiality with their religious or spiritual ideals. The use of cartonnage in the Ptolemaic and later Romano-Egyptian periods signified a transitional time in Egyptian funerary techniques from using a full, multi-part sarcophagus for the deceased to using fewer materials but with all the same decorative panache. These cartonnage masks, according to Egyptologists Dr. Salima Ikram and Dr. Aidan Dodson, "…are a reflection of a trend for the mummy to become free-standing, perhaps housed in a rectangular wooden sarcophagus, but without an intervening anthropoid coffin. This development came to fruition during the succeeding Roman Period which saw a range of outer treatments, some broadly maintaining earlier principles, while others diverged widely, although remaining true to basic concepts. The fundamental division is between mummies that conformed to a traditionally-derived 'Egyptian Group', and a 'Roman Group', which incorporated elements grounded in Classical art." They continue on to explain how, "The [Egyptian Group] continued with the use of separate cartonnage helmet-masks, together with other foot and body adornments in the same material. Distinctive points, however, are the head which was somewhat raised and angled forward…As time passed, masks took on a less 'Egyptian' look. A Hellenistic style prevailed in the area of the head and shoulders, while traditional Egyptian vignettes and ornamentation remained around the sides and crown of the head."

  FINE EGYPTIAN BRONZE MUMMIFORM OSIRIS**First Time At Auction** Egypt, Late Dynastic period, 25th to 26th Dynasty, ca. 712 to 525 BCE. A remarkable leaded bronze figure of the mummiform Osiris, god of the Underworld. This would likely have been a votive figure, perhaps made to be kept in a wealthy home and prayed to, deposited in a temple as an offering, or, most likely, kept for ritual with other metallic objects by priests. He wears a tall crown, symbolic of a pharaoh's rule over Upper Egypt, with a frontal uraeus. In his hands, which he holds close together at his chest, he holds a flagellum and a short-handled heka scepter - both symbols of authority and kingship, showing Osiris's close connection with the pharaoh and his role as Ruler of the Dead. His round face displays almond eyes, large ears, and thick lips below a petite nose, with a pleated false beard strapped to his chin. Incised decoration gives further detail to his tools, his crown, and his beard. Size: 2.1" W x 5.7" H (5.3 cm x 14.5 cm); 7.1" H (18 cm) on included custom stand.
