Description

Object Label: King Pepy I sits on his throne wearing the tall white crown of Upper Egypt and an enveloping cloak associated with the Jubilee, a festival that demonstrated the king’s continued vigor after the first thirty years of his reign (though it was sometimes celebrated earlier). Some scholars have suggested that the Egyptians created votive animal mummies to use in this festival. Caption: Seated Statuette of Pepy I with Horus Falcon, ca. 2338–2298 B.C.E.. Egyptian alabaster (calcite), pigment (Egyptian blue, red), and gypsum, 10 1/2 x 2 3/4 x 6 1/4 in. (26.7 x 6.98 x 15.9 cm). Brooklyn Museum, Charles Edwin Wilbour Fund, 39.120.
