Ancient Egypt, Late Period Faience Ushabti in the name of Nesptah - 13.8×4.2×2.9 cm

"The enlightened Osiris, priest sem and prophet of Isis, Nesptah, son of Tayes-shepset-hert". 30th dynasty. Wishing to erase the memory of the dark century and restore a national cisilization, the last indigenous Kings sought to revive the Saïte art that they it took up on their own account and sometimes slavishly imitated. Again the Egyptians turned to their glorious past but while before the arrival of the Persians, Montouemhat or Henat were inspired by the Old or Middle Kingdom, the sculptors of the 30th dynasty had, apart from a few exceptions, the primordial concern to ensure the continuity of the Saïte art. In Ushabtis, this phenomenon is particularly evident. Sold with a certificate of authenticity. Bought by the present owner from a private French collection on 10/06/2021.
