Chappaz, Les figurines funéraires égyptiennes du Musée d'Art et d'Histoire et de quelques collections privées, Geneva, 1984, n°139 Provenance: Saqqarah, south of the Userkaf pyramid, tomb of Neferibesaneith, discovered in 1929 Dispersed by the Antiquities Service, before 1970 Former private collection, Île-de-France French private collection, acquired in 2023 An Egyptian faience shabti for Neferibre-Saneith, Late Period, 26th Dynasty, reign of Amasis, circa 570-526 B.C. One of the finest examples of oushebtis from Dynasty XXVI, our delicate and elegant statuette is one of 336 funerary servants found in 1929 by the English Egyptologist Cecil Mallaby Firth in the tomb of Neferibresaneith, a high official of the Sait court, born of Chepenbastet (see E. Drioton and J.P. Lauer, "Les tombes jumelées de Neferibrê-Sa-Neith et Ouahibrê-Men",Annales du Service des Antiquités de l'Égypte, vol 51, 1951, pp. 469-490). Born under Psammetichus II, our high-ranking official bore a basilophoric name referring to this sovereign, but it was during the reign of Amasis, around the middle of the 6th century, that he reached the pinnacle of his career. It was at Saqqarah, south of the Userkaf pyramid, that he found his final resting place, accompanied by his funerary servants, most of whom were assembled on the lid of the sarcophagus. "A large number of these figurines, measuring 17 to 18 cm, were dispersed by the Antiquities Service and ended up in public collections: Budapest, Florence, London, Stockholm...; or private collections" (Aubert, p.230). The dispersal of these funerary statuettes, prized by private collectors and public institutions for their refinement, was completed in 1970, the tomb having been largely emptied by 1940. Today, these oushebtis continue to fascinate collectors the world over, and several examples can be seen in museum collections, including the J. Paul Getty Museum, which acquired one of these servants in 2016 (2016.2), the Metropolitan Museum in New York (58.4.2) and the Museum of World Cultures in Stockholm (MME 1974:156).

The round face is surrounded by a crowned headdress, the almond-shaped eyes are deep-set, the trapezoidal nose is blunt, the half-open mouth sketches the outline of a smile. An incision in the middle of the torso marks a semblance of a chest, and under the right hand an incision marks the beginning of a pair of legs. Around the neck, a slight bulge suggests the presence of a carved necklace, or torque. The back of the statue is sparsely sculpted. Beige and ochre concretions are visible all over the lower back. Red veins run down the sides of the figure. Concretions and missing pieces visible. Height Height : 45 cm Provenance : Former Louis-Pierre Bresset collection (1902 - 1988), Château de la Rochelambert, Haute-Loire Its sale, Me Coutau-Begarie, Hôtel Drouot, Paris, February 23, 2023: n°33 (ill.) Acquired at this sale by the current owner A Celtic Arkose bust, Second Iron Age, La Tène Culture, 2nd-1st century B.C. These sculptures of stone figures, in limestone or granite, can be found all over France, particularly in the Centre and Brittany regions. Their iconography, typically Gallic, is recurrent. On average, they stand between 30 and 70 cm tall, in a hieratic position, with the lower part of the body usually not represented, and arranged to provide a wider support base. Particular attention is paid to the representation of the face: almond-shaped sculpted eyes, trapezoidal nose, thin incised lips, thick torque sculpted around the neck. The bust, however, remains rather crude, with the arms often draped over the chest, one hand over the other, sometimes holding an object. By way of comparison, we cite the sculpture of the "god of the hospital" in the Musée Fenaille in Rodez, the statues of Paule, including the figure with the lyre, and those of Pauvrelay-Palmy and Orsennes. These statues were mainly found in settlements and in funerary contexts. Several hypotheses suggest that they represent ancestors or the deceased, rather than divinities. Indeed, none were found in sanctuaries or religious contexts. As not all the dead were represented, these figures would have been the prerogative of a certain aristocratic elite and intended for a domestic and private cult of the heroic dead. The contexts of discovery and the iconographic similarities between our sculpture and the examples cited, confirm that it dates from the Iron Age, between the 3rd and 1st centuries BC, and more precisely from a type of statuette from the Second Iron Age, La Tène culture, between the 2nd and 1st centuries BC. Château de la Rochelambert and Louis-Pierre Bresset (1902 - 1988): Louis-Pierre Bresset was a French art collector and dealer who acquired Château de la Rochelambert in 1939. He furnished and decorated this 11th-century fortress with pieces from his vast, multidisciplinary collection, now widely dispersed. His grandson is the current owner of the house, which is open to visitors and displays Mr. Bresset's medieval collection.
