On the platform between them stand two goddesses, Isis-Tyche (or Isis-Fortuna), a deity closely associated with Alexandria, and the nude Aphrodite."

"A somewhat obscure apotropaic god venerated mainly in the Graeco-Roman Period, Tutu was called 'he who keeps enemies at a distance' and was believed to provide protection from hostile manifestations of deities and demons. The god was said to be the son of Neith, and was depicted in the form of a walking lion or as a composite deity with human head, the body of a lion, the wings of a bird and a tail which was a snake."

Faience, glaze

Excavated by the Oriental Institute at Luxor, Medinet Habu, OIM 18827 (?)

(From Info Cards):

"Foreigners were most commonly differentiated from Egyptians by hairstyles or clothing."

I may have photographed the wrong card for this colorful piece. It is describing a "light haired resident of the eastern Mediterranean, his neck encircled by one of the emblematic plants of Egypt". This foreigner has a green cap. ???

This was the info card directly to the right of this piece. Further research on OIM 18827 leads only to a page which describes it as "Tile - Medinet Habu - New Kingdom - Faience - 90w mm, Very Detailed."

Спасибо, очень интересно.

Да, много чудесного, в том числе и teshtesh встречается, ваш юзерпичный родственник :)

Интересная интерпретация:)
Я только про Пегаса думала (чуть ли не приснилась мне картинка, если не ошибаюсь).

До чего изящно, нет слов )

И Додинастический Египет просто сама современность!

Современность - в лучших своих образцах )
