Ancient Egyptian Glazed Steatite Turtle Figurine, New Kingdom, 1550-1070 BC

Item Details

Description

A splendid ancient Egyptian glazed steatite turtle figurine from the New Kingdom, spanning from 1550 to 1070 BC. The figurine measures 6.5 cm by 5 cm by 3.5 cm, which is approximately 2.56 inches by 1.97 inches by 1.38 inches. Turtles in ancient Egyptian culture were often associated with evil forces but were also symbols of longevity and the world order. This piece, with its detailed carving and turquoise glaze, exemplifies the high level of artistry achieved during this period. The glaze, which has retained its vibrant color through the millennia, is a testament to the Egyptian mastery of materials. This figurine was likely an object of significant cultural and possibly religious value, reflecting the Egyptians' connection to their environment and the animal world. As a collectible, it stands as a fine example of New Kingdom art and would be a profound addition to any collection of ancient artifacts.
