Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2014 http://archive.org/details/exhibitionofartoOOburl INTRODUCTION. jjHE present Exhibition is the first attempt to bring together a loan collection of examples of the art of Ancient Egypt. Such an undertaking has, indeed, until now been scarcely possible. The difficulties of collection in this case are exceptionally great. The opportunities of acquisition are rare and uncertain ; also, since the objects lie without the range of the departments of art hitherto claiming the attention of the connoisseur, a certain special knowledge is required to judge their artistic importance, and even to determine their authenticity. But the Burlington Club— which, in the thirty years of its existence, has displayed in its Gallery so many phases of the arts of various races and diverse periods— has considered that it may, at length, essay the exposition of the art of the race that founded the most ancient civilisation of which we possess historical record. Mere antiquity, although it must always claim respect, does not necessarily confer distinction. The civilisation which first arose in the basin of the Tigris and Euphrates dates, perhaps, from a scarcely less remote period than that established in the Nile Valley. Yet the relative intrinsic value of their respective arts, as far as we are acquainted with them, admits of no comparison. That of the former was grim, sombre, ponderous and inert. It reflected the ideas of the race whose gods were malignant agencies. If required to typify the art of Chalctea in a single example, one might point to the demoniac form of the Louvre bronze, known as the South West Wind. A glance at VI. the admirable illustrations to Professor Maspero's recent volume, Lcs Origines, Egypte et Chaldfc, at once shows the character of the arts of the two races, and the inferiority of that of Chaldeea, and, moreover, the one example in the portion of the volume devoted to Chaldaea displaying fine artistic treatment, the bas-relief of Naramsin, suggests the art of Egypt, and may, as remarked by Professor Maspero, have been executed by a sculptor of that country. The impressions received from the examination of Egyptian art are those of brightness and vivacity. In their forms the artists aimed at elegance; they were skilful in the combination of pure and brilliant schemes of colour. In manipulative dexterity they reached the highest excellence. Their delicate execution in the smallest objects is nothing less than marvellous, and, while retain- ing breadth of treatment, they could lavish an equal perfection of execution on works of monumental dimensions. They practised the judicious restraint which is an essential element of the finest art. Above all, their art was very human. They show us the King in adoration before the gods, in his war chariot overthrowing the enemy, seated in his chair of state borne on men's shoulders in a triumphal procession, or in the seclusion of the harem, playing at draughts with a favourite Queen. We see the great nobles engaged in the direction of their territorial estates or in the diver- sions of hunting and fishing. But the pictures touch us most nearly in their frank representation of popular life. These faithfully pourtray the husbandman at his labours, the artizan in his workshop, the scenes of the market place and the Nile navigation, banquets and funerals. Nothing was too high or too low for delineation by the dexterous and industrious chisels and pencils of the Egyptian sculptors and painters. Their sympathy with the joys and sorrows, the humour and pathos of humanity, was boundless. The papyri have not revealed to us the existence of either an vii. Egyptian Shakspeare or Homer, it is unlikely they ever will ; Egypt, however, may fairly claim that neither the Greek nor the Englishman looked on life with clearer or kindlier eyes than those of her native artists, nor did they represent its varied phases with more truth and fidelity. The materials for a systematic history of Egyptain art, which may be considered as approaching finality, are not yet forthcoming. Happily, year by year they are being slowly but surely amassed. None of the present generation can expect to trace the stream from its source to its termination. The task of exploration, however, affords keener enjoyment than the passage when the course is clear, and certainly the discoveries of late years have been such as must stir the coldest imagination. Up to the middle of the present century it was generally believed that Egyptian art, through its long duration of many centuries, remained stationary, that the artists continued repeating the same forms. This notion was derived from the writings of the Greeks and Romans, probably echoing what they had heard from the priests and learned men of Egypt of their own day. Plato states: — " And you will find that their " (the Egyptian) " works of art are painted or moulded in the same forms that they had ten thousand years ago — this is literally true and no exaggeration — their ancient paintings and sculptures are not a whit better or worse than the work of to-day, but are made with the same skill." — (Laws, 656, D.E.). The training of the scholar and of the man of letters has not hitherto included the education of the eye, one is not, therefore, surprised that Plato, although it is probable he made a lengthened stay in Egypt, saw no diversity in the work of various periods on the monuments he had visited. At least, however, he might have been expected to pause before asserting that the art of Egypt reached back ten thousand years, and it seems incredible that he could suppose that any art could possibly remain unchanged during even a hundredth part of viii. that period of time. As soon as the excavations of Belzoni, Wilkinson, Lepsius, Marriette and others, had uncovered temples and brought to light the treasures of the tombs, the eyes of trained archaeologists at once saw that the art revealed belonged to various stages of growth. It may be briefly stated that the classification, now generally accepted, divides Egyptian art into that of the Ancient Empire, the Middle Empire, the New Empire, the Saiitic, the Ptolemaic and Roman periods. The art of the Ancient Empire in sculpture and painting (all reference to architecture being here naturally omitted) is distinguished by its powerful individualistic representation. In some, instances, as in the diorite statue of Khefren at Ghizeh, a monumental dignity of style is reached, found only in the noblest examples of the sculptor's art of any school or period. The well-known Sheik-el-beled, a sturdy, genial rustic, is a type only to be created by genius of the first order. When, after his long sleep, Professor Maspero again introduced him to the upper world, he at once took rank with the Immortals, with Falstaff, and Sancho, and Pickwick. Another type, this time of the shrewd, keen man of business, is the Scribe of the Louvre, the entire statue is admirable for its sculpturesque qualities. Even when the artist is of the second order, as in the seated statues of Rahotep and Nefert (the Ghizeh Museum), a commonplace looking individual and his somewhat insipid spouse, his rendering of the life-like character is almost startling. Similar qualities are found in the pictorial art, as may be seen in the celebrated picture of "Geese" from Medum, now at Ghizeh. Of this work the present Exhibition contains an excellent copy (No. 12) by Mrs. Goodison. Fragments from the same wall paintings (Nos. 15 and 20), discovered by Professor Flinders Petrie, are contributed by South Kensington Museum. Few objects of the domestic art of the Ancient Empire have as yet been identified. Their number must necessarily ix. be extremely limited. The few vases in stone here exhibited are characterised by a severe simplicity of form and careful execution. The flint ink-slab in fawn-coloured chert, contributed by Professor Petrie (Case D, No. 31), is an example of exquisite delicacy of manipulation. Workmanship of this quality offers a foretaste of what is found in the art of the Middle Empire. Taking the sculpture of that period, a marked advancement in the knowledge of the human form is perceptible. One naturally first looks at the head of a statue, and, fortunately, the present Exhibition contains a masterpiece in the head of a King of the Xllth Dynasty (Case D, No. 16), contributed by General Sir Francis Grenfell, a work which would add lustre to any museum, and wherein is concentrated all the skill and refinement of the art of the epoch. In the statues the anatomical structure of the figure is well understood ; the delicacy of modelling in difficult passages, as in the joints, shows consummate mastery. Not even Greek sculpture betrays a finer feeling for purity of line. It is excellence of this nature which distinguishes the wooden statue of Hor-ra-fou-ab (Ghizeh Museum), discovered last year at Dashour by M. de Morgan, and which has evoked the spontaneous enthusiasm of the artistic world. The examples of glazed ceramic art of this period indicate a thorough mastery of technique. The life and movement in Mr. Hilton Price's " Hippopotamus" (Case N, No. 18) are delightful. In this instance the colour has suffered. Another example, however, in the same Case, No. 1, has retained the blue glaze in its pristine purity. The brilliance of the colour and the evenness of the glaze, together with the sureness of line in the ornamentation, all point to the fact that the art was in its prime. It will be observed that water plants are painted on the animals, the intention being to suggest that the beasts were in the water. A vase stand in the same Case, No. 95, is another instance of the masterly work of this period. In painting, it is sufficient to point to the mural X. decoration of Beni Hassan, although only the work of a provincial school, it shows that, while the artists of the Middle Empire were attaining greater facility of execution, they were also enlarging their observation of nature. The New Empire opened out a field of increased activity for Egypt in every direction. It was especially an era of foreign conquest, when the boundaries of the Empire were pushed forward on all sides. The Egyptian found out that, although the Nile Valley- must still, for him, remain the centre of the earth, its circumference was larger than his forefathers had imagined. With his acquaintance with other lands and their products, fresh tastes were acquired. Life became more complex. The artists were not slow to perceive the change; their art, while remaining distinctly national, still reflected the newly awakened cosmopolitan ideas of the country. It is rather the fashion among the Egyptologists of to-day to depreciate the art of the New Empire. Fashion is proverbially fickle, and even in the most exalted spheres she retains the same amiable foible. Fifty years ago Gardner Wilkinson spoke of the art of the XlXth Dynasty as that of the noblest epoch of Egyptian art. Perhaps the critics of the next century, following the example of the Egyptians of the New Empire, will proclaim the art of the Middle Empire to be the type of all that is excellent. But the more impartial criticism declines playing Providence in scrupulously apportioning and neatly ticketing the relative merits of the various phases of art; it desires, rather, to discover the excellencies of any phase containing within itself the elements of real greatness. Judging from the remains of the monuments of the New Empire, as the tomb-temple of Queen Hatshepsu (Der-el-Bahari), now being excavated by the Egypt Exploration Fund, under the superintendence of Professor Navile ; the temples at Abydos, Thebes, Luxor, Karnac, and other places, the art must have been of splendid magnificence ; impressive in effect, rich in sculptured forms, and xi. brilliant in its wealth of colour, such as our Northern imaginations can but faintly conceive. The experience acquired in Europe offers no data to call up before the mind's eye these stupendous creations, as they stood in the reigns of the great XVIIIth and XlXth Dynasty Kings. The tendency of all official art, unless restrained by the strong will of a ruler possessing really fine taste, is to lapse into conventionality. And, doubtless, the monumental-work executed at the end of the long reign of Ramses II. shows signs of slackening energy. Possibly the national fibre was relaxing. A jaded taste craved continual fresh excitement. The more extravagant the conceit, the greater its popularity, as in our own day we witness the rage for the eccentricities of Japanese curios. If, however, there were seasons when the hands of the artiste moved listlessly, they had not yet lost their cunning. Our Exhibition contains New Empire work of every kind of ability of sterling excellence. It must, indeed, be a fastidious taste that can remain cold before design so elegant, colour so lovely, and manipulation so perfect as that lavished on Captain Myers's two cups (Case N, Nos. 8 and 12) of the time of Ramses III., or the Rev. W. MacGregor's open- work bottle, in glass paste, in Case D ; but to particularise instances, would be to cite a considerale portion of the Catalogue. The art of the Saiitic period was that of a Renaissance. Admiration of the ancient art prompted the artists to attempt the imitation of its forms and style ; the revival of its spirit was a more arduous undertaking — indeed, an impossible one. The eye as readily detects the difference between a cinque cento gem or bronze and a veritable antique, or a picture by Overbeck and one by Perugino, as it does between a work of the time of Psametik and its prototype of the earlier dynasties. Yet we sometimes find in Saiitic work a strength and insight denoting its author to be one of the elect. Form was never rendered with more subtle execution or character seized with firmer grip than in the green basalt head of the xii. Berlin Museum. (See the cast in bronze, No. 3, over the mantel- piece ) The small black basalt head in the Louvre is a vigorous example of the art of this period. The ceramic art, with its partiality for pale green tints, is singularly delicate and refined. As the Saiitic period is marked by the influence of the earlier native schools, that of the Ptolemaic and Roman periods is distinguished by an evident Greek influence. The capital of the Ptolemaics was probably the wealthiest city of its time, and would consequently attract to its Court the most distinguished Greek artists. Alexandrian art has hitherto, unfortunately, as little engrossed the attention of Egyptologists as it has that of Hellenists ; now, however, with the formation of a Municipal Museum at Alexandria it is to be hoped that, at least, Greek archaeologists will no longer neglect an art so historically important. With regard to the classes of art here exhibited, their study is full of instruction, both to the practician and the archaeologist. In glass, metal work, textiles and pottery, the artists still maintained their old manipulative dexterity. The plastic arts employed in the temple decorations show facility of execution but little originality of conception. The pictorial art is interesting from its affording information respecting the technique of the Greek painters. It is impossible to assert whether the heads here exhibited (Nos. 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 1 1) were painted by Greek or native artists. They are the hasty work of an unpretending provincial craftsman, painted for coffins that were to be buried in the desert sand. Therefore, niceties of execution, or a polished style, must not be expected. In some instances, however, as in a portrait at the National Gallery and another at the Berlin Museum, the brush work, while not exactly rivalling that of Rembrandt, is strongly suggestive of clever, showy work of a modern exhibition. These paintings, and the plaster heads in Case E, prove that, up to its final extinction in ancient times, Egyptian art retained its capacity for lifelike individualistic representation. The majority xiii. of these heads aim at little more than a conventional ideality, yet now and again we come across one that must have been a striking portrait — as in the instance of No. 5, which suggests the art of the quattro cento Italian Renaissance. Reference has been made to Greek influence on Egyptian art. In the case of influence generally, Egypt has been the donor, not the recipient. Phoenician art was a pale reflex of that of Egypt, at times, however, betraying an Assyrian influence. The so-called Mycenian art derived its motives, through Phoenicia, from Egypt. Of the very few really artistic objects of this attribution, as the inlaid dagger blades in the Athens Museum, similar in style and technique to those discovered in the coffin of Queen Ahhotpu, now in the Ghizeh Museum, there can be scarcely any doubts of their Egyptian fabrication. It is not the ideas of the embryotic civilization that dominate those of the fully developed one. As to the Asiatic races, whose very names are uncertain and the objects of their art unknown, the possible influence of their arts — if they possessed any — is not worth discussing. An Assyrian influence in certain forms is per- ceptible; it was, however, merely surface action. Even the Greek influence was intrinsically slight, and moreover it came at a period when the ancient civilization of Egypt was approaching dissolution. On the other hand, the influence of Egyptian art on that of the other great civilizations of antiquity can be traced in all directions, and will probably be still more apparent as our knowledge of that art becomes wider and more accurate. It will, doubtless, have been noted by the reader that, in mentioning the usually accepted divisions of Egyptian history, no dates were given. To the modern student undated history is unsatisfactory and even irritating. But where, as in the present instance, there is considerable diversity of opinion, an attempt at anything like precision in this matter runs the risk of being misleading. XIV. Among Egyptologists Wilkinson fixes the date of the first Pharaoh, Mena, at 2320 B.C., Bunsen at 3623, Lepsius at 3892, Lauth at 4157, Brugsch at 4455, Mariette at 5004, Unger at 5613, Boeckh at 5702, Professor Petrie at 4777. Professor Erman places the commence- ment of the IVth Dynasty at not less than 2830 years before our era. The calculations made by the authors are based on the lists of the Turin papyrus, which is much mutilated, on that of Manetho, which we only have at second hand, and on the stone tables of Abydos, Karnac and Sakkarah. The question then arises as to the value of these lists as historical documents, and, speaking with the utmost diffidence, it appears to the present writer that if similar evidence were offered to a student of English history he would be compelled to reject it. The Manetho list dates from the Ptolemaic era, the others from the XlXth Dynasty. They were evidently compiled to please the Pharaohs and to glorify the Egyptian race. But it must be remembered that the Egyptians had no era (they counted from the coronation of the reigning monarch), there is no indication that they had any taste for historical research, the national vanity was excessive, they had no care for accuracy in stating numbers, and, along with many gifts and some sterling virtues, they were addicted to constant exaggeration of language. Taking these facts into consideration one may fairly demand very conclusive evidence before accepting these lists as authentic records of successive kings. If, however, it be admitted that there were contemporaneous dynasties reigning in various parts of Egypt, the difficulty, of course, vanishes. Taking Brugsch's chronology, he dates the commencement of the IVth Dynasty at 3733 B.C., the Vlth at 3300, the Xllth at 2466, the XVIIIth at 1700, the XlXth at 1400, the XXth at T200, the XXVIth (Saiitic) at 666, this is the first regnal year that has been actually proved. It follows, therefore, according to Brugsch, that between the earliest discovered works of Egyptian XV. art — say the seated statues of Rahotep and Nefert — and the work of the Saiitic period, there is a duration of time extending over more than three thousand years. To the student of the history of art, this appears to be making a very large demand indeed on his credulity. He naturally recalls the length of time required by other artistic races to develop the full maturity of their arts ; remembering at the same time that the Egyptians were singularly skilful in all manipulative processes and quick to seize impressions. Greek art, from the period of the archaic statues of the Acropolis of Athens to the time of Alexander, covered a space of about two centuries, and another four centuries and a half in its so-called Hellenistic phase follows to its extinction at the time of Hadrian. Italian art, from its dawn with Cimabue to its decadence under the Caraeci, extended over a space of four centuries. It may be said that the Italian development was assisted by its acquaintance with the art of antiquity. Niccola and Giovanni, of Pisa, had seen and tried to imitate the sculpture of the Roman sacopagi in their native city, but they cannot be said to have advanced Italian sculpture of their period by so doing. It is not improbable that Signorelli had a private hoard of fragments of black figure or later Greek vases found in Etrurian tombs, hence his nude figures at Orvieto; but here again the influence was individual, and not materially affecting the measured and steady growth of the national art. The space covered by the rise and decline of other national arts will occur to the reader, and he will then judge what number of centuries may be fairly supposed to have elapsed between the production of the aforesaid Rahotep and the statue of Ramses II. at Turin (XlXth Dynasty), or that of the alabaster statue of Ameneritis at Ghizeh (XXVth Dynasty). Or, taking the work in our Exhibition, between the idyllic figure of the woman carrying a box and leading a calf (No. 58, Case F) of the Vlth Dynasty, xvi. and the fine Saiitic bronze of Neith, No. 38 in the Berlin Case For ourselves, we must beg respectfully to decline accepting the milleniums of Brugsch. But the Egyptologists suggest there were long gaps in the history of Egypt when the nation lapsed into barbarism. You cannot, however, cut slices of five hundred years or so out of the history of a nation and find the art resumed at the end of that period on the same lines that it stopped at the commencement. Egypt herself, in historical times, offers conclusive evidence on that point. With the decline of the national prosperity at the end of the Roman period, we can clearly trace the decadence of Egyptian art, until, in sculpture, the forms represented were almost barbaric, as in the probably 5th century frieze at South Kensington Museum, representing Our Lord and His Apostles. The ornamentation in early Christian tombstones in the same Museum may also be compared with the work of the time of Hadrian. Now, between the art of the end of the Xllth Dynasty and the commencement of the XVII Ith there is no indication of the five so-called Hyksos centuries of the Egyptologists. Mariette pointed out that the mummy cases were of the same style, and also he remarked that the names of persons were similar at both these times. One can only therefore conclude that, if the kings of the supposed five intervening dynasties ever existed, their dominion was con- temporaneous with other dynasties in another part of the land. Briefly stated, we venture to think that the monuments and the objects in our museums and collections proclaim the progressive growth of an art commencing at an early period and continued to historical times, that it was governed by the same laws that have prevailed in subsequent ages, and therefore that its existence was not of fabulous duration. It is not intended to imply that the growth was of absolute regularity, there were undoubtedly times when it flagged, and others when it advanced with more xvii. than ordinary energy. It is the assumption of vast intervals of suspension to which we must beg to demur. We are not concerned with Egyptian chronology, except so far as it relates to the history of art, which is a scientific study. At present it scarcely appears that the numbers and duration of the dynasties usually given rests on a basis that can legitimately be called scientific. The patience, acumen and industry of the Egyptologists displayed in, it may be termed, discovering the ancient language, and their labours in deciphering the inscriptions, are deserving the highest praise. It is not surprising if they have hitherto been less successful in dealing with the chronology. To offer any trustworthy account of the growth and duration of Egyptian art can only be accomplished by men who have previously studied the development of other national arts offering dates respecting which there can be no question. It will be understood that the exigencies of space in the Gallery have compelled the Committee to exclude large objects, especially sculpture in stone. In wooden statues the Exhibition contains some rare and admirable specimens. For portraiture on a miniature scale, No. 25, Case F, could not be surpassed. The two statuettes of boys to the right of it, Nos. 30 and 31, contributed by the Liverpool Museum, shows the delicate art of the early XVIIIth Dynasty. A touching interest attaches to these effigies of the little lads who died during the lifetime of their parents, and who come down to us across the centuries as souvenirs of undying parental affection. It may be pointed out that the intention of the rough models of boats was purely representative, they were placed in the tomb as indications of what the deceased would require in his voyage to the under world and for his diversion during his life there. The execution in the more finished examples of wood carving proves that in the artistic treatment of this material the Egyptians were not only imitators but have maintained a position of supremacy. xviii. In some departments the Gallery contains more complete collections than can be found in any single Museum, This is especially the case with the ceramic art, name-scarabs and glazed schist. The collection of inscribed bronzes is important, so also are those of jewellery and articles in silver. For the high quality of their execution, and their representative character, the objects con- tained in the Case contributed by the Berlin Museum form a typical representation of Egyptian art which will long cling to the memory of the visitor to the Gallery. The contribution evinces also the deep and friendly interest taken by the Direction of the Museum in any effort to promote the study of the art in another land. The same spirit has animated Dr. Fouquet in forwarding from Cairo his choice and interesting selection. The warmest recognition is due to the Direction of South Kensington Museum for its contribution, especially for its loan of artistic glass work. And also to the Direction of the Liverpool Museum for lending the valuable and representative objects from the Meyer Collection. HENRY WALLIS. xix. POTTERY. The varieties of Pottery in Egypt are so well marked and distinct that even a fragment is often conclusive evidence of a date. Since the Pottery has been studied in late years it has become one of the main guides in research ; and the principal varieties are therefore described in the following pages. (See Plates IV. to VII.) In the IVth Dynasty several classes of Pottery are found. One is very coarse and thick, of soft brown ware. Such jars (2) are always hand-made, and figures of potters shaping these jars, with one hand inside and the other outside, are found in early tombs. The large cups (1) though smooth on the sides are always very rough below, and seem as if intended to be stuck in the ground. Small tables are found in the tombs. Little vases and dishes (3, 4, 5) are found in great numbers, as offerings, at the Pyramids and in private tombs. The finer kind of pottery is thin and hard, with a highly- polished facing of red haematite. It is nearly all of bowls (7), with varied forms of lips, but all based on one type. There were many coarser imitations of this, faced with haematite. Bowls with spouts (9), with a slight brim (10), with deep conical base (11), cups (8), and small bowls with curved mouths (12) are all of this style. Other wares of the same date are the fine hard white-brown paste, without any facing (16), and the greenish drab ware which is often vitrified (14). It appears as if the baking of this was pushed as far as possible in order to make a stone-ware of it, and many times they overdid it, and so half fused the material. Some rough brown ware of fair quality, without any facing, was also produced (13, 15, 17). The above are all from the tombs of Medum, and similar pieces are found at Gizeh, and also in Upper Egypt. The Xllth Dynasty shows a very different style. None of the ware is so fine as the good ware of the IVth, nor is any quite so XX. coarse as the previous coarse stuff. The general material is a rather gritty and fairly hard red-brown ware, without any fine facings, and smooth micaceous darker brown in the finer kinds. These varieties of form are mostly represented in the pottery shown in the scenes at Benihasan. The incised pottery is characteristic of this age. Large dishes are scored with patterns of basket work, lotus, fishes, birds, &c. These were not only a local manufacture at Kahun, but were also common further up the Nile. In the XVIIIth Dynasty a light drab ware is frequent, as in the pottery at Koptos. The forms (48-55) were all placed in the foundation deposits of Tahutmes III.; while the forms (56-62) are in red-brown ware from the Maket tomb at Illahun, the date of which is now fixed, by the above foundation deposits, to be about the same period. On none of this pottery is any blue painting to be seen. The colours are black on red-brown, and black and red upon pale brown. The next change is under Amenhotep III., when the brilliant blue colouring (not glaze) came into use, and the highly polished face of the pale drab ware appears. Some of the forms were continued, but in general the later types have a fulness in the upper part of their curves, giving them a globular tendency quite different from the earlier forms. The frequency of handles, the corbelling under the brims, and the very slender and elegant forms of some vases, such as 65 and 83, are very characteristic of this age. Decoration of bands, patterns, or plants, was very usual in blue, picked out with black and red. These types continued through the reign of Rameses II. Under Sety II. some further coarsening of the general forms is seen. (See figures 87 to 94.) Still more clumsy and futile shapes appear in the XXI I nd- XXIIIrd Dynasty. (See figures 95 to 99.) In the XXVI th Dynasty many new forms appear, owing to XXI. Greek influence. Of the Egyptian types we may note that the characteristics of this age are the sharp shoulders, the full, drop-shaped outlines, and the small handles. The ware is partly of the old rough red-brown ; but a very fine brown paste was also used for the smaller vases, and a grey-drab ware of very thin and delicate make is also common. The use of a whitewash facing is not unusual. (See figures 100 to 115.) Various forms also were introduced from Greek sources. Among these foreign forms, which are also found in Palestine at the same age, the commonest are figures 116 to 126. These types belong to the XXV I th Dynasty, and most of them passed away before Alexandrine times. During the Ptolemies, the distinctive pottery is mainly of Greek design, and what should be attributed to the early Roman age in Egypt is easily seen by a glance at the pottery in the Museum at Pompeii, where many of the forms are identical with what are found in Egypt. The next stage is the great change in the 2nd century a.d., when ribbed pottery came into use. The date of this change is indicated by our never finding ribbed potsherds used for the inscribing of the earlier tax receipts, even as late as Antoninus they are smooth pottery. But ribbed pottery was constantly used in Coptic times for inscribing ; and it appears coming into use in a burnt house at Tanis, which seems from the papyri to belong to about 180 a.d. The pieces of ribbed pottery are very characteristic of late Roman sites all over Egypt and Palestine. The thick peg bottoms of the great amphorae survive when almost all else has been crushed and crumbled. The ware is dark yellow-brown, rather fine, but very liable to flake and decompose. Rather later, there is the late Roman period of pottery, marked particularly by the salmon-coloured ware and the stamped patterns. xxii. FOREIGN POTTERY. Of about the Xllth Dynasty, there have been found in various sites small vases of black ware, ornamented with zig-zag prick patterns rubbed in with white. (See figures 127 to 134.) Such patterns and white filling of the pricks belong to the pottery of the lowest stratum at Hissarlik, which, since Dr. Dorpfeld's recent work, must be placed well before 2000 B.C. The style has also a close affinity to the earliest black pottery in Italy, and as nothing in the least related to the forms, the patterns, the material, nor the technical modes of this ware is known in Egyptian work since the Xllth Dynasty, it is most probable that this was imported from the north of the Mediterranean. In the XVIIIth Dynasty a great variety of pottery is found in Egypt which is absolutely identical in body, colour, ornament and general appearance with the so-called Mykenaean or Aegean ware belonging to the Bronze Age of Greece. Of these, figure 136 is of the age of Amenhotep III., and figures 137 to 145 are of Amenhotep IV.; 135 is of about the same age, or early in the XlXth Dynasty. Beside many separate dis- coveries of vases of these types in tombs and burials with objects of the XVII Ith-XIXth Dynasties, the great evidence of the age is the finding of over 1,400 fragments scattered throughout the acres of rubbish heaps which were thrown out from the palace of Akhenaten at Tell el Amarna, and which have never been disturbed since that age, about 1400 b.c. From the patterns and forms found at Tell el Amarna and at Gurob, it appears that, though contemporary, these two places were supplied by different trade routes. The Gurob types belong to the Peloponnesian styles, and the Tell el Amarna types to the Rhodian and Cypriote ; probably these came by the African and the Syrian coasts respectively. Coarse imitations of the xxiii. form 136 are found in the XlXth Dynasty, and various modifi- cations of the type of 137, flattening it from a globular to a lenticular form, are very usual from this date onward in Egypt. Another great class of foreign pottery is the Phoenician. This is found also in Cyprus and Palestine, and, being quite disconnected from Egyptian ware and patterns, it is clearly of foreign origin. The principal forms are shown in figures 146 to 154. The earlier forms of 149, 150 are thick hard black ware, painted with coarse white lines imitating wicker covering. These belong to the age of Amenhotep III. and IV. After these, the ware is thin and browner, looking almost metallic in the finer examples. These probably come down to the close of the XXIIIrd Dynasty. The bowl with curved handle (154) is of the same ware. The long vase (148) is always of red pottery with a polished red face. The vase (152) is always of light drab or yellow white pottery, rather soft. The bowl (146) with pattern imitated from a leather pouch bowl fastened on to a withy handle, is characteristically Cypriote. Only a few chips were found at Tell el Amarna, but enough to prove that the type goes back to 1400 b.c. The later foreign styles, of the early Greek age of the ;th century onward, are so distinctly Greek in origin that it is needless to enter on their details here, as they are not of historic value regarding Egyptian antiquities. POTTERY FIGURES. Besides the use of pottery for household purposes, it appears very early for modelling and statuary. The fragments of statues at Koptos show a style far more archaic than any stone sculpture known in Egypt. Pottery figures occasionally appear in the XVIIIth-XXth xxiv. Dynasty ; but they are not common until the Roman period, when they abound. On all Roman sites in Egypt of the ist-3rd centuries a.d., innumerable figures of coarsely-made pottery are found. The fronts are moulded in moulds, the backs are generally plain ; a hole is usual in the back for hanging them up. Such figures began to be used in Greek times, but during the first three centuries they abound in the East. Egypt, Syria, Asia Minor, the Euxine, Greece, and other regions swarm with such images of gods, goddesses, cupids, genii, and human persons. A few are of real excellence — as the so-called Tanagra figures — but the majority are only of interest occasionally from remarkable subjects. Beside red or brown pottery made of clay, a vast variety of objects were made in a paste of fine quartz sand, and coated with coloured glazes. This use of glazed ware appears for beads in the IVth Dynasty, for scarabs in the Vlth, for vases in the Xllth, and for ushabtis in the XlXth Dynasty. Very probably each of these classes may be earlier than is here indicated from examples at present known. The multitude of glazed pendants and ornaments were made by pressing a lump of the quartz paste into a mould of red pottery ; how the paste was removed is not clear, but it was afterwards glazed, and then fitted with beads stuck on by a dab of glaze at either end, to provide threading rings for hanging it on a necklace. The requisite moulds were made by taking pottery impressions of carved dies, and then baking them. Thousands of such moulds, comprising over six hundred different varieties, have been found in the factories of Tell el Amarna. This system originated in the XVIIIth Dynasty, and continued into the XXVIth. PL. IV. POTTERY OF XII™ DYNASTY. 1/16™- PL. V.

Glass itself is found from the beginning of the XVIIIth Dynasty onward, and is very common in late Roman times. The use of a coat of glaze thus appears to precede the production of large masses of the same material wrought alone. In what manner the coloured glaze was first produced we do not know, but probably it was much the same as in the great factories of the XVIIIth Dynasty, as Ave find the coloured frit already used in early times. Glass vases were never made by blowing or casting until Roman times. All the early vases were made by hand working on a metal rod. Such was the method in the XVIIIth Dynasty, and similar vases appear to have been made in the Xllth Dynasty, to judge by paintings. A metal rod of the size of the intended interior of the neck, and rather conical, was coated at the end with a ball of sand held together by cloth and string. This was covered with glass, probably by winding a thread of glass round it, as large beads of this age are thus made. The vase could then be reheated as often as needed for working by holding it in a furnace, the metal rod forming a handle and the sand inside the vase preventing its collapse. Threads of coloured glass could then be wound round it and incorporated by rolling, the wavy pattern was produced by dragging the surface in different directions, the foot was pressed into shape by pincers, the brim was formed, and the handles were put on. Lastly, on cooling, the metal rod would contract and come loose from the neck, and after it was withdrawn, the sand could be rubbed out from the body of the vase. Glass beads were made by winding a thread of glass around a xxvi. copper wire; when cold, the wire was withdrawn. This was the constant method in the XVIIIth Dynasty, and on to the Roman age. But the Coptic beads are made either by folding over a flat piece of glass round a wire, or by nicking a tube of glass while soft, and breaking it into short pieces. Besides the use of glaze upon siliceous ware, it was largely employed on stone. The favourite materials were a soft black steatite, and a rather harder brown schist. These were both of them used from the earliest work down to Greek times. A schist which, when glazed, appears mottled, with dark patches and veins, was frequent in the Xllth and earlier part of the XVIIIth Dynasty. An extraordinary material for receiving glaze is a basis of transparent or translucent quartz. Crystal beads coated with a violet, blue, or green glaze are found in the Xllth Dynasty; a piece of a large square block of blue glazed quartz was found at Thebes ; and part of the legs of a lion, about six inches long, which had been glazed, comes from Koptos. Quartz objects which have entirely lost their glaze can yet be distinguished as having borne it, by the rounding and solution of the edges of the cracks, due to the alkaline mixture, a change which no mere heat of a furnace could effect. There is no instance of the use of glaze upon metal, or enamelling, until the Roman period. That art appears to belong to the Celtic or Northern Bronze Age, and to have been thence introduced into Italy and the rest of the world. The colours of glazes are very marked and striking. Some tints are found from many different periods, while others are peculiar to a single reign. Here we can only attempt a general outline ; and an actual study of the scarabs, and other such dated objects, can alone give that certainty to the eye which is needed to distinguish the colours of various periods. Purple is only seen in the manganese glaze of the XVII I-XX 1st Dynasty, principally in lines on ushabtis, &c. xxvii. Violet is very rare, except in Akhenaten's age ; a few ushabtis, &c, of the XXV I th Dynasty show a grey-blue violet. Blue is very dark and full in the XVIIIth-XXIst Dynasty, black-blue being seen under Tahutmes IV. ; a medium blue is the commonest colour, and the shades of it can only be distinguished by practice; the Ptolemaic and Roman coarse blue glazed bowls and vases are lumpy on the surface, often crackled, and slightly green, like pale indigo ; the blue of IVth-XIth Dynasty is pale and very brilliant, while that of the Xllth is slightly darker. The peculiarity of the Xllth Dynasty is the extreme dryness of the glaze, which is only just thick enough to reflect, and is very flat on the face. Blue green appears in the Xlth-XIIth Dynasties; occasionally in the XVIIIth, oftener in the XlX-XXth, and again in the XXVIth. Dark green, of a peculiar blackish cast, belongs expressly to the earlier part of the XVIIIth Dynasty, and is used on mottled schist. A dirty black green appears under Sety II. Full green appears from the Vth Dynasty onward, and is perhaps as common as the blue. The shades cannot be described. Pale green is characteristic of the XXI Ind-XXVIth Dynasties, often on objects of very delicate modelling, and not sufficient to produce a wet or shining face. Grey green, varying to grey blue, is found in figures of very delicate but conventional work, probably of the Persian period. Olive green occurs in the XlXth and in the XXXth Dynasties. Yellow green was used under Akhenaten. Yellow, of a rich cadmium tint, belongs also to Akhenaten. A more lemon yellow occurs in glazed figures of Roman age, usually on the prominent parts of blue figures. xxviii. Red, varying between red brick and maroon, belongs to Akhenaten, and is seldom, if ever, found in the Ramesside and later times. White occurs from Akhenaten to the Ramessides. Black only under Akhenaten. The decomposition of the glazes leads to a variety of appearance which quite hides the original colours. The green glazes decompose to a woody brown, sometimes without breaking the surface, at other times being converted into a soft brown earthy coat. The blues fade to a plain white. Both of these changes seem to result from the gradual abstraction of the copper, leaving the iron to form brown instead of green, and leaving no colouring base in the blue. The red glass imitating jasper is coloured by diffused red oxide of copper ; and when kept moist this is gradually converted into green silicate, so that its former colour would not be suspected. TOILET. Hairpins are usually of ivory in the earlier times, and also of wood. The heads are commonly simply wide and flat at the top, but sometimes carved with figures of animals. In the XVIIIth Dynasty they are of wood or bronze ; the heads are marked with lines, but are not enlarged. In Roman times they are of turned ivory, or with figures of Taurt, Venus, &c, on the head ; also of bronze, and of glass. Combs begin with a sort of notched scraper of ivory in the IVth Dynasty at Medum, for no comb could be cut until a fine saw was in use. In the Xllth Dynasty well cut combs are found, with very long teeth, and open-work backs. In the XVIIIth Dynasty combs abound, coarser and shorter in the teeth, never double-edged, XXIX. but sometimes with ornamental work, — such as a horse drinking, — on the back. In Roman and Coptic times the combs are nearly all double, generally fine and coarse ; some are monstrous, with wide teeth, two or three inches long. Ear-studs were worn in the outer edge of the ear, as shown on a coffin in the Ghizeh Museum. They are usually of ivory, with a central peg, by which the two halves stuck together. They are common in the XVII I th Dynasty. A simpler form was a stud all in one piece ; such were often of limestone with a facing of ostrich egg. Earrings were worn on the upper edge of the ear, as shown on the above named coffin, and as used by the Berbers now. They were made with a gap in them, by which they were slid on to the cartilage. The commonest material is red jasper ; some are of red glass imitating that; others of drawn glass rod, bent round, blue, yellow, red, black or white; others are of shell, circles being cut out of helical shells. Ears pierced in the lower lobe are seen on the coffin of Anentursha from Gurob, and on heads of Akhenaten. Earrings of European pattern are common in Greek and Roman times, of gold, silver, or lead, with beads threaded on. Many varieties are shown in use in the ist century a.d. on the modelled stucco head covers of mummies, and in the 2nd and 3rd centuries a.d. on the painted portraits. In Coptic times silver and bronze earrings abound. Finger rings are found mentioned as early as the IVth Dynasty, but the earliest examples are of the XVII Ith Dynasty. These are of gold, silver, bronze, lead and tin. Glazed-ware rings with a bezel bearing the King's name, begin under Tahutmes IV. and disappear under Rameses II. In the XXIInd Dynasty they reappear again as broad bands, even a whole diameter wide, pierced with patterns, usually of a god seated. Scarabs were also frequently set on wire finger rings, to be worn turned either side outward. In XXX. the Roman time bronze finger rings were very common ; they often have a small key combined with them, so that the security of the strong box was on the master's finger. Bracelets of threaded beads, in deep bands, about a diameter wide, are shown on figures early in the IVth Dynasty. They are found of this same deep form in the Xllth and XVIIIth Dynasties. The finest were made of minute stone beads threaded on gold wires ; the poorer of pottery beads, on threads held by bars pierced with holes, such as are frequently found. Bracelets of solid gold are found of a plain circular form as early as Xllth Dynasty; usually they have each end beaten out to a wire, which is lapped round the opposite shank, so that a sliding enlargement could be obtained. The date of these bracelets is probably pre-Greek, but this same system lasted for torques to late Roman time. The serpent bracelets are Ptolemaic and early Roman. In Coptic times plain brass brace- lets are very common, sometimes with animals' heads at the ends. Iron was also used then. Collars of long beads, arranged radially, are shown in the Vth Dynasty, and actually remain on the mummy of an early priestess now at Ghizeh. Beside these a narrow band around the neck was also worn, made of threaded beads. Such was worn by the lower classes more than the deep semicircular collar. In the XVIIIth Dynasty the collar threads were gathered at either end to a lion's head full-face, or, later, to a hawk's head. These great collars became an object of imitation, and the figure-heads of the sacred boats had immense collars of inlaid metal, imitating rows of beads and pendants. On mummy cases also these collars were painted, and an amulet of the collar in a small model form, made of gold inlaid with stones, is found on late mummies. In Coptic times torques of silver and bronze are very usual ; the ends usually are wound round each other, so as to slide ; sometimes they hook together. XXXI. Beads. — A simple string of beads was often worn around the neck, or several loose strings. The patterns and styles of these beads are of historical value, as they are so often found separately that they serve as indicators of dates. The characteristics of each period, marked in italics, are as follows : — IV-VIth Dynasties, green tubular pottery beads, and black tubular. Xllth, spherical beads of amethyst, carnelian, and transparent sard or agate ; garnet beads ; cylinders of green-glazed schist ; spherical and very smooth beads of fine blue glaze ; globular glazed beads with a nick at the end to imitate the groove in stone for starting drill. Rude small green glaze figures of hawks, bees, &c. Xllth and early XVII Ith, long tubular blue glazed beads, also with spiral black bands around them. Very dark purple globular beads, imitating garnet. The same of barrel form sprinkled with crumbs of white quartz flashed with blue glaze. Small beads rolled between finger and thumb on a thread, thin barrel form. XVI I Ith Dynasty, red jasper, black-brown agate, lotus bud or flower pendants, lenticular or quoit edged beads, small pendants of flowers, &c, of green felspar, white quartz, red agate, black porphyry, &c. Coloured pastes of pottery ware coloured throughout, red, green, blue green, violet, &c. Glass, black and white, under Tahutmes III. Later in the XVI I Ith Dynasty, purple, indigo blue, violet, blue, green, bright yellow, clear brozvn yellow and opaque red are all found. The forms are roughly spherical, with traces at the ends of the break of the glass thread from which they were wound, all of the beads having been made by winding on a wire. Long beads are also found, both wound and drawn tube. Patterned beads with black and white eyes in them are also usual, mostly as pendants. They continue into the XlXth Dynasty. Glazed beads are very small in the earlier part of the XVI I Ith Dynasty, some as minute as eighty to one grain weight. The colours are black, violet, blue, green, yellow, and red. In the later part of xxxii. the Dynasty larger beads appear, and pendants moulded of many forms. Flat thin disc beads, some almost of papery thinness, are frequent, usually blue, some black. Flower beads, moulded in a flat rosette form, threaded through the middle, belong to the end of the Dynasty. The XlXth Dynasty appears to have only followed the same forms in a debased manner. The XXI Ind Dynasty opens an entirely new line. The brilliancy of colours is gone, and only blueish green and pale green appear. Shells are frequent, and strings of discs cut from shell. Soft stone beads of calcite and alabaster, and pierced agate pebbles in the rough, are in the place of the finely cut jasper and agate beads of the XVII Ith, pendant figures of Isis and Horus, Bast, pig, sacred eye, &c, are very common. The glass is mainly clear indigo blue, in a double cone form, or rings or roughly globular beads of wine yellow. In Roman and Coptic times glass is predominant, glaze having almost disappeared. The glass beads are roughly globular, rounded from pieces of tube nicked off ; grass green and lemon yellow are the most usual colours, opaque red, black, white, and clear dark blue, also appear. Opaque lemon yellozv, banded lengthways with clear green or clear white, is characteristic. The dark blue are largely pendants of rude lump forms, also truncated cube beads, and inlaid with red, white and black eyes. Imitations of emerald, rock crystal, and onyx are common. The Italian beads of black opaque body, covered with spots or zigzags of colour, are often found. Such are known in Italy from the 7th century B.C. down to the fall of Rome. Another variety has a body of blue, with eyes of red surrounded with yellow, or blue with white, projecting from the bead. Flat discs with the Christian monogram, surrounded by such eyes, show the period. Glass, with a coat of gold or silver included in the thickness of it, was often used for beads. Bone and mother-of-pearl xxxiii. pendants were common, much like the rosaries, &c, still made in Palestine. Buttons are found in Upper Egypt, apparently of the XVIIIth Dynasty, but always rather rude in work, and without any clearly Egyptian designs. They bear rude figures of men, tortoises or turtles, crocodiles, rosettes, hawks, and geometrical patterns. The materials are bone, steatite, and in one case pale amethyst. The stitching hole is through a loop at the back. Kohl pots. — The small receptacles for the kohl, or eye paint, vary greatly in form and material. In the Xllth Dynasty they are wide, with a broad lip, and this pattern lasted in the beginning of the XVIIIth Dynasty. They are of alabaster, marble, or basalt, in most cases. In 'the XVIIIth Dynasty the tubular form becomes general, and appears in reeds, wood, glazed pottery often inscribed or figured, and rarely alabaster. Two or more tubes were joined together to hold different paints, varying in colour or medicinal properties. Many sportive decorations accompanied the kohl tube, a monkey seated embracing it, a monkey climbing up it, a seated nurse and child, &c. The paint for the eyes is named mesdeiu, and is mostly galena ( sulphide of lead) roasted or unroasted ; pyrolusite, oxide of copper, sulphide of antimony, and haematite are also found. Green colour is seen on the eyelids of figures of the IVth Dynasty or earlier, and green eye paint is found of silicate and carbonate of copper. The powders were mixed with gum into a soft paste or salve, and were then applied to the eye with a rod. Kohl sticks. — The rods for applying the kohl were bulbous at one end, which was dipped in the salve and drawn along the eyelid. The materials known are haematite, bronze, wood and glass. XXXIV. SCARABS. See Case M, Divisions II., III., IV. Origin. — From the earliest historical times the beetle that was seen burrowing on the edge of the desert was consecrated in Egyptian minds as an emblem of the Creator, and we find it employed in the language with the ideas of creating, becoming, or being transformed. The reason of this meaning we can only infer from the insect's nature and habits. It may be seen toilsomely rolling a large ball up the sand of the western desert edge, and then burying it, an obvious parallel to the ball of the sun rolling over to its burial in the western desert. And when new life sprang from the eggs concealed in the ball, another parallel, with the new life of the returning sun, would occur to the primitive mind, always on the alert to seize any analogies or inferences that would explain the mystery of nature. That the sun is represented in later times between the feet of the beetle, as its ball, shows that this resemblance was familiar. Use. — Why this sacred emblem should have been so favourite an ornament and amulet we cannot now fathom. But from the first monumental king, Sneferu, down to the last native dynasty, it is continually found used as a basis for engraving the names of kings.. Such royal scarabs were laid with the dead, to place them under the protection of their former lord in the next world, and to ensure that they should follow him and share in all the immunities and privileges that so great a divine man would enjoy with the gods. Scarabs were also worn during life — as a fashionable ornament, — as a claim on the blessings that belonged to royalty, — and for official purposes of sealing in the king's name. This last use is pointed out by the frequent use of metal rings with royal names, which were doubtless used for official seals by those XXXV. entrusted with the royal property and affairs. As scarabs were also commonly employed for sealing letters and property — dozens of such sealings being found in any early town — it is obvious that those with royal names would have served as Government seals, especially those set in finger rings. This use as seals is also pointed out by the many found bearing private names. Such were the direct forerunners of the universal private seals of the East in modern times. No document is there valid without a seal, not even a private letter, and such is naturally the case in any civilisation where writing is not universal. In our land the use of seals has only remained in the case of official or state documents, which thus receive their validity. These little seals and amulets give the most complete and interesting series of historical objects dated during the three or four thousand years of Egyptian civilisation. They illustrate the fluctuating art and skill of the various ages, they point out by their numbers the varying wealth of the people, and they have preserved for us the names and memory of many kings that would be otherwise unknown. Their service to history is far greater than is yet recognised; and in them we have, in their small size, often beautiful work, and historic value, a series which is to Egypt what coins are to Greece and Rome. Cylinders and Plaques. — Beside the scarab two other forms were used for the same purposes. The cylinder is found often in the IVth Dynasty, but always roughly cut in steatite or bone; it belongs in that period to a curious unexplained class of steatite cylinders, which generally have but rude imitations of hieroglyphics, and which probably belong to some particular race. Their use died out in the Vth Dynasty but revived in the Xllth-XIIIth, when they were commoner than scarabs; these later cylinders are mostly in hard stone and glazed, and are slender in form. Some large ones at the close of that age have two separate bands of xxxvi. figures around them. After this, cylinders were but rarely found in the XVIIIth, XlXth and XXVIth Dynasties. The other type is the rectangular plaque. This appears as early as Khufu, but is most general with private names of officials under Ramessu II. Materials. — The art of glazing was fully used from the earliest to the latest age of scarabs ; and most of them are cut in steatite or schist, and glazed with various colours. The shades of blue and green defy description, and can best be studied in the originals. Others are of pottery, similarly glazed, and many of these were moulded, and not hand-worked like the stone ; such are commonest in the XlXth-XXth Dynasties. In all ages scarabs were some- times made in hard stones. Amethyst appears in the Vlth to Xllth Dynasties, and rarely in the XlXth. Green jasper in the Xllth, often in the XVIIIth, and but rarely on till the XXVIth Dynasty. Red jasper and carnelian mainly in the XVI I Ith-XIXth Dynasty. While grey, drab, yellow and other unusual jaspers were employed in the XXVIth Dynasty. Obsidian appears in the Xllth Dynasty. And very rarely beryl, white quartz, shelly limestone, fossil wood, recent wood and ivory are found. It was the fashion in the Xllth Dynasty to use plain scarabs of amethyst, faced with inscribed gold plates ; three fine examples of these are in this Exhibition. And in all ages scarabs were often set in gold frames, and made up in finger rings. Subjects. — Those objects here exhibited almost all bear royal or private names ; but such are only the rarer varieties. The great bulk of scarabs have some small device, a scroll, a lotus, a sacred animal, a good wish, or a prayer to some deity ; but as such are of minor importance, they are a better field for the seeker of pretty things and the patron of bric-a-brac than for historical research. Some classes of unusually large scarabs are shown in Division VI I. Under Amenhotep III., in the XVIIIth Dynasty, big scarabs were PL. I. LIST OF THE PRINCIPAL HISTORICAL KINGS OF EGYPT.

From the end of the XVIIIth Dynasty till about the XXIIIrd large scarabs were also inscribed with a portion of the ritual chapter concerning the heart, and were inserted in the mummies ; hence they are called " heart scarabs." These generally bear the name of the person for whose mummy they were made ; and when they were stolen and re-used the name was changed. One here has the old name ground out and another inserted ; one has the old name cut away with the first line, and the end of the inscription ground away to put in a new name ; and one has the latter half of the inscription ground away, and a fresh name and details added, beginning at the tail end of the scarab, while the first name remains at the head end. To all who care for historical interest the scarab will always have a fascination ; and these little things, that have survived thousands of years, will remain indestructible in the changes of the world, and delight other collectors and students hundreds of generations hence. BRONZES. See Cases J. K. Though the mere accident of material is of little consequence to the importance of an object, yet for convenience it is usual to treat bronzes apart from the other art of their time in faience, stone, wood, or ivory. As the figures illustrate but a short portion of Egyptian history, and have a special style due to the material, there is the more reason for grouping them together. XXXV111. Age. — The period during which bronze figures were made is particularly noticed in the present arrangement. Many figures bear dedications cast or chased upon the base ; and from the fashion of the dedicator's name we can infer with some probability the age of the bronze. The names of the rulers were followed by the common people, and Sheshenk in the XXI Ind, Amenardus in the XXVth, Psemthek in the XXV I th, set the fashion as much as Henrietta, Caroline, or Albert have led name-giving in England. Of course, such names linger on in use long after the first example, yet the absence of a common name from a group gives a probable later limit to its age. If in a long list of English names not one George was found, there would be good reason to date it before 1720. How common royal names become in a single century is seen at Defenneh, where — limited to that period of the XXVI th Dynasty — five out of seven rings show personal forms of royal names of that dynasty. Now, in the present gathering of over two dozen bronzes with names, only five have names as late as the XXVIth Dynasty ; so, though no doubt some of those with names of the XXVth belong to the earlier part of the XXVIth, yet it is pretty clear that the majority are older than the XXVIth Dynasty. Moreover, those fixed to the XXVIth show a very different style of work in the face to that of the earlier bronzes, and preclude our placing others as contemporary with them. And not a single instance of the names of the XXXth Dynasty is to be seen. Hence the result of bringing together these examples may be broadly said to show that such dedicated figures began to be made about the XX I Ind Dynasty, say, 900 B.C., that they were commonest about the XXVth and early XXVIth Dynasty, say, 700 to 600 B.C., and that they became scarce after 600 B.C. This, of course, only points to the date of the fashion of inscribing dedications ; other bronzes were probably made until the Plotemaic or Roman age, but for the history of art in bronze the dedicated examples must be the main source. XXXIX. Art. — These results are of much value in estimating the relations of Egyptian and Greek art. During the critical period, just before the rise of art in Greece, we have not many dated examples of work in Egypt ; and those, of great size or elaborate nature, may be considered to stand by themselves. But, on the other hand, in these bronzes we have what the common artist- workman was in the habit of doing ; and they show the general level of ability in the country. It has been often supposed that the refinement of Greek art influenced the revived art of Egypt, but we now see that, so far as it affected the style, it can only have been for the worse. The best work here is of the age 900-700 B.C.; the fairly good style is of 700-600 B.C., and after that the prim, lifeless neatness, or else the clumsy aspect of the features, show that no improvement is to be looked for. But then can hardly be a question that these bronzes, so portable and so easily produced, may have had much to do with the develop- ment of art in Greece. Unhappily, we know but very little of early Greek bronze ; the fragments from the Parthenon show, however, that it was probably in advance of the work in stone of the same age. Production. — From the earliest time the Egyptian modelled in wax; in the oldest tale of the IVth Dynasty a wax model is mentioned. The large bronzes, supposed to be of early age (in the Louvre), appear to be cast from a wax form ; and certainly in the XVIIIth Dynasty the cire perdue process was so perfected that bronze was cast only 7 30 th of an inch thick over an ash core, without any appreciable want of centering, — certainly true to 7ioo tn of an inch. This beautiful process, however, disappears in the later bronzes, and in the XXV I th Dynasty and onward they are generally cast solid. The core, and probably the mould also, was made of finely ground ash, mixed with just enough material to bind it ; as no clay is apparent, probably a medium of gum or resin was used, xl. which became carbonised in the furnace. The core is always quite porous and friable, so that no contraction or warping could take place during the baking and melting out of the wax. A good deal of detail was put in by modelling on the wax, and bronzes sometimes show it plainly ; but the surface of the bronze was generally chased and scraped over to finish it. Hammer work appears in the bowls of the XVII Ith Dynasty ; these are very thin, and in some cases beautifully elastic and flexible. After hammering, the surface was scraped in crossing directions to reduce it and smooth it. It was sometimes then chased with patterns, as in a small bowl here ; or worked with repousse figures, as in one here with a line of bulls. The material used for metal work was pure copper, sometimes hardened with oxide of copper and arsenic in the earlier times. In the XVIIIth Dynasty, bronze was introduced; and in late times pot-metal, or copper and lead, is found. W. M. FLINDERS PETRIE. xli. USHABTIU. Ushabtiu, or Respondents, were the working figures of Hades or of the nether world, they were intended to cultivate the fields for the deceased, water the canals, move the sand from the East to the West, and be ready when called. They were made in the form of the god Osiris, bandaged with the hands protruding and crossed, in which they held usually a hoe, and sometimes two, or the crook and flail. They are composed of various materials, such as different stones, alabaster, faience, wood, terra-cotta, and wax, and were placed in the tombs, either in wooden boxes, more or less decorative, strewn along the floor, or laid under the mummy itself. These figures range in time from about the Xlth to the XXXth Dynasty, a period of upwards of two thousand years, during which time the same forms were maintained, with certain variations, such as decoration, the shape of the wigs, position of the inscriptions, &c, indicative in a manner of the period at which they were made. As, for instance, the earliest figures known have simply a vertical column of hieroglyphics down the front, setting forth the name of the deceased, with arms hidden beneath the bandages. Late in the XVII I th Dynasty, the hands and arms were crossed, holding in one a hoe, and in the other a flail or sceptre. Later on, during the XXth Dynasty, a hoe was carried in each hand, and in one a cord was held, which was attached to a basket that was slung over the back. During the XlXth Dynasty the figures are sometimes represented as wearing a full skirt. In the XlXth Dynasty inscriptions in horizontal bands first appeared, which contained the Vlth Chapter of the Book of the Dead, in addition to the name and title of the persons for whom they were made. Figures are occasionally found which are inscribed with the usual formula, and have a blank space left for the name of the deceased person or Osirian, indicating that these figures were kept in stock by the undertaker, or perhaps the Cher-heb. During the XXVIth Dynasty they assumed a quite different form, and can generally be identified by their style ; they are hand moulded, and have the Vlth Chapter horizontally placed round the legs of the figure ; they are of compact composition or faience, standing upon a square pedestal or foot, with a vertical plinth running up the back, and are bearded. In the tombs of great persons, such as kings or high functionaries, many hundreds of Ushabti figures were deposited, as, for instance, in that of King Seti I. upwards of 700 were found, and in that of Heru'ta, at Hawara, Professor Flinders Petrie found them built up with solid masonry in recesses in the tomb to the number of 399, mostly of the best style of work ; they were xlii. arranged in rank-and-file, but this was an exception to the usual way of disposing them. May not the practice of depositing the Ushabti figures in the tomb be a survival of the ancient custom of immolating slaves and retainers at the obsequies of a great man ? The Egyptians being of a humane nature, detesting taking life unnecessarily, devised the plan of using the Ushabti figures to take their place. F. G. HILTON PRICE. xliii. List of the Principal Egyptian Divinities. Amen-Ra, the word Amen signifies " hidden." He was the principal god of Thebes, but after the Hyksos period his worship became general, he was King of the Gods, Lord of Lords, and had many other titles, he typified the sun in its strength. He is represented as a man walking, wearing a crown on his head, with disk and plumes. Amsu, Ames Min or Khem, an ithyphallic god, representing the reproductive principle of nature and the harvest. He was worshipped principally at Chemmis, called in Greek times Panoplis, and now Ahmim. He is repre- sented similar to Amen, holding in his left arm a flail, and in his right the organ of generation. ANHOUR, son of Ra, a form of Shu. His name signifies "leader of the heavens." He was principally worshipped at This. He is represented wearing plumes, and holding a cord in his hands. ANPU, or Anubis, son of Osiris and Nephthys, the sun and the sun set. He typified the dusk or twilight, and was the god of burials, and as such is coloured black and wears the head of a jackal. Anupt, jackal-headed, was a form of Hathor, and a female form of the god Anubis, she symbolized the dawn or evening twilight. Probably worshipped at Denderah. Apis, or Hap, a primordial god engendered by himself, he typified the sun, and was the second life of Ptah, of Tmu, Osiris and Ptah-Seker-Ausar. The seat of his worship was Memphis. He is represented in the form of a bull, also as a man wearing a bull's head. Apuat, is jackal-headed, his name signifies " opener of the roads." Bast, was the wife of Ptah and mother of Nefer-atmu. She typified the dawn, and represented the beneficent heat of the sun as a producer of vegetation. She is represented cat-headed, and was worshipped at Bubastis. Bes, was a god of Arabian origin, and has been identified with Set. He had many phases ; he represented death in a bad sense. He appears as a warrior with sword and shield ; as a dancer, and as a musician playing the harp or tambourine. xliv. His head, which is of hideous proportions, upon a deformed body, is often found upon articles of the ladies' toilet, therefore he may be thought to have been a favourite with the fair sex. He probably typified the sun. He wears a large cornice of plumes on his head. CHNEMU, or KHNUM, ram-headed, was father of the gods, maker of gods and men ; he is sometimes called the " modeller," and is represented at Philce as making a man on the potter's wheel. He was chiefly worshipped in Nubia, and typified the sun. He wore plumes on the top of the ram's-head. CHENSU, or CflONS, was son of Amen-Ra and Mut, he was called the "hunter," the "persecutor" and the " reckoner of time." He typified the moon and was worshipped at Thebes. Chensu is sometimes represented as hawk-headed and sometimes human-headed, wearing the moon's disk upon cow horns on his head. Genii of the Amenti, were the four children of Horus, representing the four cardinal points. Their names are Mestha, Hapi, Tuamautef, and Oebhsenuf. Mestha is human-headed, Hapi is ape-headed, Tuamautef is jackal-headed, and Oebhsenuf is hawk-headed. They occur usually in faience and wax. The heads of these genii formed the lids of vases for holding the intestines of the human body— which vases are incorrectly called canopic. HAPI, the NILE, called the "bringer of food" great lord of provisions, &c. No one knows his abode. In figures he is represented as a man, with water plants on his head, and with female breasts. Harpacrat, or Harpocrates, was the son of Osiris and Isis. His name signifies the infant Horus. He is the type of the rising sun, reborn daily, and is typical of eternal youth. He is represented naked, with finger of right hand to his mouth, wearing a large atef crown. HATHOR, was lady of heaven, lady of the sycamore, daughter of Ra, and mother of Horus. She is called the "dwelling of Horus." She typified the dawn and the evening twilight. She is identified with all the principal goddesses, who, in different places, bear different names ; and is depicted with a cow's head or broad human face, with cow's ears. HERU, cr HORUS, was son of Osiris and Isis. He typified the sun in its full strength, and was styled the avenger of his father, as each morning he overcame Set — darkness, who had murdered his father Osiris. He is usually hawk-headed. xlv. I-em-hetep, was the son of Ptah and Nut. He typified the rising sun and healer, and was worshipped principally at Memphis. He is usually represented as a man sitting upon a throne, with an open papyrus on his knees. Isis, or AUSET, was a daughter of Seb and Nut, the earth and sky. She was wedded to her mother before they were born. She is the mother of Horus, the sun in his strength. Isis typified the dawn and the sunset, and was one of the goddesses of the West. Figures of Isis are common, they often represent her as the mother nursing the infant Horus or Harpocrates, in which she was un- doubtedly the prototype of the Virgin and Child. She is represented in female form, with the horns and disk of the sun or the throne upon her head. Maat, goddess of law, personifying truth. She was daughter of the sun and lady of heaven. She is usually represented sitting on the ground bandaged, with her knees raised up, wearing an ostrich plume on her head. She was the wife of Thoth. Maahes, HOS, or ARIHOSNEFER, son of Ra and Bast, great god lord of Denderah. He was worshipped in Nubia as the " glaring lion," and is represented with a lion's head wearing plumes upon it. MENHIT, a form of Sechet, worshipped at Esneh and typified the dawn. She is readily mistaken for Sechet, as she has the head of a lioness, but on her head she has a uraeus. Mentu-Ra was lord of Thebes, and another form of Ra, and is hawk-headed, wearing a disk, in front of which are ursei and plumes. Mersker, or Merit, was a form of Hathor. She was "ruler of the West," lady of the nightly heaven, regent of the double-earth, and of Hades. She is figured as a serpent with a human head. MUT, the mother-goddess, wife of Amen, lady of heaven and regent of all the gods. It is supposed that she typified the dawn ; she is represented as a woman, wearing the crown of Upper and Lower Egypt. NEIIBKA, serpent-headed, personified the rejuvenescence of life, and was worshipped at Heracleopolis. He is depicted in faience with the body of an animal, with the head of a serpent. NEFER-ATMU was the son of Ptah and Bast or Sechet. He typified the rising sun. He is usually depicted in human form with a head-dress of lotus flowers and plumes, and sometimes standing upon a lion. xlvi. Neith was the daughter of Amen Ra and Mut. She was mistress of women, lady of heaven and inventress of spinning. Her name signifies the shuttle, which was her emblem. She was worshipped at Sais, and probably represented the dawn. She is represented as a woman wearing the te'ser or crown of Lower Egypt. NEPHTHYS was a daughter of Seb and Nut, sister of Osiris and Isis, married to Set, the darkness, and is said to be mother of Anubis, the dusk. She typified the sunset. She is associated with Isis weeping over the bier of Osiris ; and is represented as a woman, wearing on her head the basket and house. OSIRIS, or AUSAR, was the son of Seb and Nut. He married his sister Isis before they were born. He typified the sun of yesterday, slain by his brother Set, the darkness. He was worshipped throughout Egypt. He is always represented in the form of a mummy, wearing a conical crown with a plume on each side, holding a flail and crook in his hands. PTAH, a primordial god, was styled the opener and architect of the universe, creator of the substance of the gods, &c. He is represented wearing a skull cap and bandaged as a mummy. He typified the morning sun. Ptah-Seker-Ausar, a naked dwarf, with bow legs. He symbolised the form of Osiris, who is about to be transferred into the rising sun. He is sometimes seen standing on crocodiles, and has a beetle on his head. RA was the principal deity in the Egyptian Pantheon, and was par excellence the great sun god, emblematical of the sun of to-day. He is supposed to have emanated from Nu. He was worshipped under various names in the different nomes of Egypt. He is represented of human form, with the head of a hawk- wearing a disk upon it. RANEN, allied to Merseker, presided over the productions of the earth and maternity. She is represented as a snake with a human head, surmounted with the horns of Hathor and a disk. SATI, was styled the eye of Ra, lady of heaven, &c, and was worshipped in Nubia, and was probably a form of Isis, and as such typified the dawn. She is represented as a woman, wearing the white crown with horns on each side. Seb, the great cackler, who produced the mundane egg. He was a son of Shu and married to Nut. Figures of him are very rare. He is figured as a man with a goose upon his head. xlvii. Sebek, a son of Isis, and personified the sun of noon day. He was a great god, lord of the earth, wearing the head of a crocodile. He was worshipped before the Xllth Dynasty at Ombos. SECHET, described as beloved of Ptah, was worshipped at Bubastis and at Memphis, and represented the fiery dawn. She was nearly allied to Bast, and was formerly known by that name. She always wears the head of a lioness, in distinction to Bast, who has that of a cat. SELK, or Serq, a form of Isis and a daughter of Ra. She typified the dawn and has been called the eye of the sun. She wears a scorpion as her head-dress. Set, or Sutekh, was the son of Seb and Nut, and wife of Nephthys. His worship was of great antiquity, dating back to the old Empire. He typified darkness, and was daily at war with Osiris. He is always depicted of human form, with the head of a strange animal with large square topped ears. Sphinx, represented Harmachis, or Horus on the horizon, and is figured as a lion with a human head. Shu, was the eldest son of Ra and Hathor, and twin brother of Tefnut. He represented the dawn or sunlight, or the air, and in his association with Tefnut probably typified the constellation of the Gemini. Shu is of human form, usually seen kneeling, holding up the disk of the sun. TEFNUT, was a daughter of Ra, and sister and wife of Shu. She usually wears the head of a lion with disk and uraeus, and typifies the dew or moisture. THOUERIS or Taurt, was the wife of Set, mistress of the gods. Depicted with the head of a hippopotamus, standing, with the tail of a crocodile behind. She personified the Great Bear, and is represented as devourer of the wicked. Thoth or TEHUTI, was the son of Khnemu, and was called the measurer, scribe of the gods, inventor and patron of arts and sciences, and many other titles. He was supposed to have been self-produced. He is represented of human form, with the head of an ibis and typified the moon. Tmu, or ATMU, was a primordial god and typified the setting sun, and as such was called the " Closer." He was worshipped at Heliopolis, and is represented of human form, wearing the crown of Upper and Lower Egypt. F. G. HILTON PRICE. The thanks of the Committee are due to Miss Hilton Price, Dr. H.

Nos. 1-9 are from the find of Kom-es-Sabaa, the Lion's Hill, discovered by fellaheen in February, 1884. The find consisted of more than one hundred and tzventy objects, of which Dr. Fouquel secured thirty. The objects were, doubtless, ex-votos, originally belonging to a temple dedicated to a divinity symbolized by a lion. The origin of the temple is tmknoivn, it probably dates from an early dynasty, a ud, as may be seen from the objects, lasted until the Ptolemaic period. Kom-es-Sabaa is in the neighbourhood of the ancient city of Tanis. 44 Case H. 1 Inlay. Symbolic left eye. Blue glass. H. 7/ & in. 2 Inlay. Anubis, in form of a jackal. Dark blue glass.

There are a number of draughtsmen of various designs. F P On the left hand side are bunches of grapes for wall decoration, found at Tell-el- Amarna ; a model of a helmet, with fragments of a large bas relief of a helmet of similar design. These belong to the XVIIIth Dynasty. The fragments of Pottery mostly belong to the XVIIIth Dynasty. The fragment of an Ushabti is similar in technique to the celebrated Ushabti of the Ghizeh Museum.

At the top is ranged a series of the gods in coarse semi-opaque glass, including a representation of Set; in the second line are amulets. These are all of a comparatively late period, and it is stated have been placed in the bodies of mummies. The portion of a hawk's head below has belonged to a canopic vase. The fragments in single colours may have been for mural decoration. The finer and more delicate mosaics were probably applied to personal ornaments, furniture and caskets. The fragment with a winged Eros in white on a blue ground is similar in technique to the Portland vase (this piece has probably been in a fire). This suggests that the Portland vase is of Egyptian fabrication, the art is certainly Hellenistic, of the Alexandrian school. One of the small CEnoche was found at Pompeii, a city where the art showed a strong influence of the school of Alexandria. The sphinx in blue glass has a layer of white glass behind the surface, in order to heighten the colour. Some of the fragments of mosaic were obtained at Rome, but that does not militate against their Egyptian attribution, since a portion of the Roman tribute in the time of the Empire, included glass. The objects placed near the small mask in yellow with blue hair are of an earlier period. Division IX. Pectorals are a somewhat rare form of ornament found upon the breasts of mummies. They have some connection with the Heart Chapter in the Ritual of the Dead, as that is the Chapter found upon them when any portion of the Ritual is inscribed. They are made of various materials : gold, silver, bronze, stone, faience, wood and composition ; their usual shape is that of a naos or shrine. The subjects on the pectorals vary greatly ; those made in the precious metals have but little resemblance to the more ordinary faience or other material. The usual subjects found on these latter are either the deceased adoring a god, or Anpu seated on a shrine with accessories, or Cheper (the scarab) in his boat, with Isis and Nephthys adoring. 1 PECTORAL, in the shape of a shrine, pierced at the top for suspension.

The earliest examples of glazed mottled-green schist are the cylinders bearing cartouches of the Vlth Dynasty, the latest pieces of glazed schist belong to Roman times. The splendid head from a sistrum in the centre of the Case bears the cartouche of Usestesen I. The Kohl pot with open work, to the left, bears the cartouche of the Royal Princess Mernub, said by Mr. Leiblein to belong to the XVIIIth Dynasty. The Kohl pots to the right, and those beneath, belong, also, to the same period, also the CEnoche, with the broken handle, above. The pectoral beneath, with a winged scarab carved on the reverse, belongs to the same time. The semi-circular plaque is inscribed: "President of the prophets, president of the gate of the foreign lands, duke of the town, Ment-em-hat, son of the prophet of Amen, the duke of the town, Nes-ptah, president of the double house of the Ra priests of the temple of Ha-pa-tuin." Ment-em-hat was the son of Nes-ptah, prince of Thebes. XXVth Dynasty. The crocodile bears the cartouche of Amenhotep III. The plaque at the right-hand corner below, has on one side a deity, winged, and piercing a serpent with a spear. The features are those of Bes, the name of the god is lost from a fracture in the stone. It may be Sopt, but it is more likely to be Set, with some attribute of Horus. The reverse shows a ram-headed Sphinx reclining on a sculptured base, and wearing a head-dress consisting of horns, disk and feathers with two uraci. The inscription gives the name of the ram as " Amen-Ra, divine King." It is the rare Rehcri of Amon, known on monuments of Amenhotep III., and the original of Jupiter Ammon. See Proc. Soc. Bib. Arch., Jan., 1894 (compare with No. 10, Case K, Liverpool Museum). Beside this piece is a fragment of similar style, the winged deity is thrusting his spear into a serpent. 1 HEAD from a sistrum.

(21 — 26) are specimens of the great treasure of an Ethiopian Queen, and zvere found in her pyramid at Mero'e. All the objects seem to be the work of a local artist of Meroc. Some cameos and gems of pure Greek work, which were found among them, show that the treasure belongs to the Greek or Roman period. 21 Gold Bracelet, in Cloisonne enamel. Two pieces joined by a hinge. In the middle strip the ornamentation is composed of scales and figures of moon-god, Khons. Above are uraeus- snakes. (1639.) 22 Gold Bracelet, similar to No. 21. The hinge is covered by a plate, with the doors of a temple and a collar (so-called " Aegis "). (1643.) These bracelets could not span round the whole arm, and, also, they do not show any fastening. They were probably sewn to a leather band, the fastening being on this band. 23 Gold Finger Ring. The king sitting between Amon and Mut, the chief gods of the Meroitic kingdom. (1723.) 24 Gold Finger Ring. The queen, represented as the goddess Isis-Selket, receives a son from Amon. (171 1 .) 25 Gold Finger Ring. The queen presents her son to the king.

GLASS. Glass of this description was formerly called Greek and Roman, then Phoenician and Egyptian. The evidence for attributing it to Egypt consists in the colours and ornamentation, in the fact of brilliant examples belonging to the time of Amenophis IV. (Nos. 28 and 29), and that remains of Glass Works have been found in the Delta and Upper Egypt. There are allusions in the Classical writers and early Christian Fathers to the Egyptian fabrication of glass. Egyptian glass formed part of the native tribute to Rome. There have not been discovered remains of Glass Works at Rome. Colourless glass was, however, fabricated at Rome. The Phoenicians, who distributed Egyptian manufactures throughout the lands bordering the Medi- terranean, imitated the Egyptian glass. The inferior examples in this Case are probably from their fabrics. The high estimation in which these small vessels were held in ancient times is indicated by their being found, along with other precious objects, in Greek and Etruscan tombs.— h.w. 1 Alabastron.
