An Egyptian Limestone Relief Fragment Depicting an Attendant Wearing a Head-Cone
New Kingdom, 19th Dynasty, 1307-1196 B.C.
Width 15 1/2 inches (39.37 cm).
Provenance:
Secret Eye, New York, 1977.

Donald Wonder (1938-2023), California & New Jersey, thence by descent.
The upper hieroglyphs on this fragment read "God's Father," indicating a priestly title. Below this inscription, an attendant is depicted with a head-cone, a type of conical ornament used in ancient Egypt, often seen in paintings and bas-reliefs but only confirmed through archaeological evidence in 2009. To the right, a broad register displays votive food offerings, suggesting the context of this relief served a religious or ceremonial role.
