An Egyptian Faience Royal Name Bead for Shabaka, 25th Dynasty, ca. 705 - 690 BCE
EA2046
Regular price $2,500 USDLight brown glazed composition flat-backed lentoid name-bead: longitudinally pierced. Inscribed on the rounded surface with the prenomen cartouche of Shabaka, the full text reads: "The Son of Ra, Shabaka, living eternally”.
Neferkare Shabaka (or Shabako) was the third Kushite pharaoh of the 25th Dynasty, reigning from 705 – 690 BCE, inheriting the throne from his uncle Shebitku. Shabaka's reign is significant because he consolidated the Nubian Kingdom's control over all of Egypt from Nubia down to the Delta region. It also saw an enormous amount of building work undertaken throughout Egypt, especially at the city of Thebes, which he made the capital of his kingdom. In Karnak he erected a pink granite statue of himself wearing the twin crowns of Egypt. Shabaka succeeded in preserving Egypt's independence from outside foreign powers—especially the Neo-Assyrian Empire of Sargon II. The most famous relic from Shabaka's reign is the Shabaka Stone which records several Old Kingdom documents that the king ordered preserved.
Shabaka name beads were sold at the Cairo museum in 1948. In old inventory at the Krakow, Poland records a purchase of 19 plaques, three being name beads for Shabaka, at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Sales No. 226, Unit Price: 5 Pt. (sic). The list also states the entire batch of items came from discoveries in the Holy Lake of Karnak (Sliwa).

An Egyptian Clay Seal Impression for Seti I, ca. 1294-1279 BCE
EM2001
Regular price $1,950 USDboth sides busily decorated with images and hieroglyphs that seem to have cryptographic significance. At the top, the gods Ra and Amun sit holding was-scepters, an obelisk topped by a sun-disk to their left and cobra, canal, and eye hieroglyphs to their right. Taken together, these signs represent a playful writing of the prenomen of Seti I, “Men-maat-re,” and the epithets, “beloved of Amun, who performs Maat.” In the middle register, two baboons sniffing lotus blossoms face a central sun-disk; baboons were considered to be devotees of the sun god because they were observed getting agitated at sunrise and sunset. At the bottom, a stylized vulture spreads its wings protectively over the entire scene.
In Egypt, clay was shaped and impressed with seals to secure the contents of jars, bags, boxes, letters, and official documents, and to safeguard storage rooms by sealing the doors.
They were handy and easily carried on the person. Official seals were so important that at least as early as the Old Kingdom officials instructed students in the art of being "sealers." Official departments had their secular sealers such as "Sealer of the Honey," while religious organizations had their "Divine Sealer." In the Middle Kingdom, the royal treasury had its Chancellor and "Keeper of the Royal Seal."
Condition: Intact and in very good condition overall with minor cracks to edges.
Dimensions: Length: 1 inch (2.5 cm)
Provenance: Dr. Ulrich Mueller private collection, Switzerland, acquired between 1968 - 1978.
