This award-winning room is unmistakably French - whether in Directoire, Empire, or contemporary style... The Directoire reproduction bed from Paul M. Jones Inc. is made of brushed steel with polished brass trim; it is outfitted with a simple linen from Alan Campbell.

Cosmetic Vessel in the Shape of a Cat Middle Kingdom Ca. 1990–1900 B.C. Egypt

The cat first appears in painting and relief at the end of the Old Kingdom, and this cosmetic jar is the earliest-known three-dimensional representation of the animal in Egyptian art. The sculptor demonstrates a keen understanding of the creature's physical traits, giving the animal the alert, tense look of a hunter rather than the elegant aloofness seen in later representations. The rock-crystal eyes, lined with copper, enhance the impression of readiness.

Travertine (Egyptian alabaster), copper, quartz crystal, paint. H. 14 (5 1/2 in.); l. 13.7 cm (5 3/8 in.); w. 6.2 cm (2 7/16 in.).

An Egyptian rock crystal of a chonky hinpopotamus amulet

(Middle Kingdom, ca. 2050-1650 BCE)

Amulets were worn by ancient Egyptians for their protective and regenative properties. Used in both in daily life and during funerary rites, amulets represented animals, deities, symbols or objects thought to possess the magical powers of warding off evil spirits.

As animals were popular representations, the hippopotamus was known for its apotropaic (e.g. ability to avert bad luck) qualities and was associated with rebirth.

Head of the God Amun Ca. 1336–1327 B.C. New Kingdom, post-Amarna Period. From Upper Egypt, Thebes; From Egypt.

Amun was a major ancient Egyptian deity who appears as a member of the Hermopolitan Ogdoad. Amun was attested from the Old Kingdom together with his wife Amunet. With the 11th Dynasty (c. 21st century BC), Amun rose to the position of patron deity of Thebes by replacing Montu.

After the rebellion of Thebes against the Hyksos and with the rule of Ahmose I (16th century BC), Amun acquired national importance, expressed in his fusion with the Sun god, Ra, as Amun-Ra (alternatively spelled Amon-Ra or Amun-Re).

Amun-Ra retained chief importance in the Egyptian pantheon throughout the New Kingdom (with the exception of the "Atenist heresy" under Akhenaten). Amun-Ra in this period (16th to 11th centuries BC) held the position of transcendental, self-created creator deity "par excellence"; he was the champion of the poor or troubled and central to personal piety. With Osiris, Amun-Ra is the most widely recorded of the Egyptian gods.

As the chief deity of the Egyptian Empire, Amun-Ra also came to be worshipped outside Egypt, according to the testimony of ancient Greek historiographers in Libya and Nubia. As Zeus Ammon and Jupiter Ammon, he came to be identified with Zeus in Greece and Jupiter in Rome.

Hello dear friends, very recently I presented the original colour photograph of my sculpture called Tut. So tonight I thought that I would present that photo to you as a black and white photo.

I always like how clay sculpture looks in black and white photographs, it seems to give an almost more striking appearance about the piece .

I'm looking forward to presenting the next photo of The Lost Boy Of Venice on here very soon , hope you're having a pleasant week, keep well and Take care 🖐️👍🤗
