Her arched eyebrows are restricted, with eyes set back, a delicate nose, all as fine as the small lips.

-An exceptional white marble portrait of the youthful Alexander the Great, sculpted with refined late Classical Greek elegance and remarkable sensitivity in the facial modeling.

Egyptian Light Green Faience Sistrum In The Form of a Naos
Late 25th Dynasty, first half of the 7th century B.C.

Material: Faience

Dimensions: H: 20.5 cm

Reference: 21033

-A faience sistrum dedicated to Hathor features a janiform head with bovine ears and a necklace, above a naos-shaped frame once fitted with metal bars that produced rhythmic sound.

Used in the cults of Hathor and Isis, its sound was believed to please the goddess, evoke the Delta’s reeds, and protect women in childbirth.

Likely dating to late Dynasty 25, such faience sistrums were symbolic votive objects rather than practical instruments, valued for both ritual meaning and artistic refinement.
