ÉLÉMENT ORNEMENTAL Faïence à glaçure jaune Diam. 2,5 cm Égypte, Nouvel Empire, c. 1550-1077 av. J.-C. Provenance Ancienne collection privée française, constituée dans les années 1990-2000 La face principale est sculptée en relief selon un motif rayonnant : un centre circulaire légèrement bombé d'où rayonnent 16 pétales ou lobes arrondis, créant une composition florale ou solaire parfaitement symétrique. Chaque pétale est délimité par des sillons profonds creusés radialement, accentuant l'effet de volume et créant un jeu subtil d'ombres et de lumières. Le bord extérieur présente un profil festonné épousant la forme ondulée des pétales. La face arrière, légèrement concave, est percée de trois orifices disposés en triangle permettant la fixation de l'élément par couture (?) sur un textile. Une fissure ancienne traverse le disque, témoignage de l'usage antique et du contexte archéologique, mais n'altère pas la lisibilité de la composition ni la stabilité structurelle de l'objet. A New-Kingdom Yellow Glazed Faience Button, in the shape of a flower. c. 1550-1077 BCE. Remarkable ornamental element in yellow glazed faience of "button" or decorative appliqué type. The circular piece displays sophisticated radial composition evoking a rosette or stylized flower. The principal face is sculpted in relief with radiating pattern: slightly domed circular center from which radiate sixteen rounded petals or lobes, creating perfectly symmetrical floral or solar composition. The reverse, slightly concave, is pierced with three holes arranged triangularly permitting fixation by sewing or riveting. The yellow glaze, of deep honey-gold tonality, preserves its characteristic satiny luster. These ornamental elements served as decorative appliqués sewn or fixed onto various supports: ceremonial garments, harnesses, furniture, caskets. The radiating floral motif evokes either the daisy or rosette, symbol of perfection and divine protection.
