Descubra la tasación y los precios de esta y más obras de arte africano en Africartmarket. Rare Egyptian Polychromed Alabaster Fish, Ex-Sotheby'S, 2005



Descripción : Egypt, probably late Dynastic to Ptolemaic Period, ca. 1539 to 100 BCE. This is a polychrome carved alabaster (travertine) fish in the form of the Nile tilapia, with the distinctive gills and lower fins of that species. Remains of red pigment are very clear on the bottom and the details of the body are very naturalistic. That naturalism is what is leading me to the later date for this fish. It looks quite similar to a tile from the Palace of Ramesses II, called Fish in a Canal and held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, that tile dates to 1279 to 1213 BCE. Fish were an important motif in ancient Egypt, and we even have evidence of mummified fish (you can see one in the Louvre!). This is an interesting piece, which demonstrates the skill of Egyptian artisans.
