Harvest Ritual(?) New Kingdom, Amarna PeriodHermopolis Magna, Egypt
Description
Object Label: The scene of an individual—by his or her size, surely royal—grasping stalks of grain has no parallel at el Amarna. It may represent a harvest ritual honoring the ancient fertility god Min. A festival for any god but the Aten at el Amarna could only have been celebrated after Akhenaten's death, during the two years before Tutankhaten returned Egypt's capital to Thebes. It may even depict a rite carried out at Tutankhaten's coronation. Caption: Harvest Ritual(?), ca. 1352–1334 B.C.E.. Limestone, pigment, 9 3/16 x 20 1/2 in. (23.4 x 52 cm).
