An Egyptian Painted Wood Sarcophagus Panel

Late Period, 26th-30th Dynasty, 664-343 B.C.

Width 71 inches (180.34 cm).

Provenance:

Donald Wonder (1938-2023), California & New Jersey, prior to 1998; thence by descent. [Inv. no. 15]

This panel is adorned with four kneeling figures, three with jackal heads and one human, all depicted with raised hands. These figures, identified as the Bau (souls) of Nekhen or Hieraconpolis, are traditionally interpreted as representations of the pre-dynastic kings of Upper Egypt. The human figure is depicted wearing the Nemes headdress, a symbol of pharaonic authority, and is accompanied by columns of hieroglyphs. These texts suggest sacred and funerary associations, mentioning phrases like “the Wepwawet of Upper Egypt” and “Venerated by Osiris, endowed with life,” indicating a profound connection with Osiris and the afterlife.
