Napoleon III Inkwell with Egyptian Inspiration, late 19th Century

Ref.15610
Napoleon III Inkwell with Egyptian Inspiration, late 19th Century

This Egyptian-style inkwell was crafted in France during the reign of Napoleon III. The centerpiece of the inkwell features a depiction of the goddess Hathor. Front-facing and hieratic, reminiscent of the monumental statues of Ancient Egypt, she is seated on a throne with her legs held tightly together. In one hand, she holds an ankh (one of her attributes), and in the other, a lotus-flower-shaped scepter, one of the symbols of Egypt. Her clothing and accessories are replete with references to Egyptian art and culture: she wears a loincloth and a nemes headdress adorned with an uraeus (a cobra), the headdress of pharaohs and gods. This is topped by a solar disk positioned between two horns, another of her attributes. She also wears a broad usekh collar, a mark of Egyptian nobility, from which hangs a pendant. The goddess sits on a throne flanked by two lions with meticulously styled manes, and decorated with signs evoking hieroglyphs. On either side, the lids of the inkwells are shaped like the heads of two back-to-back vultures, topped with rings to facilitate lifting. The artist may have drawn inspiration for the depiction of the goddess from one of the low-reliefs in the Temple of Hathor at Dendera, where the goddess is shown with all her attributes.
