The bust of Nefertiti is one of the most celebrated masterpieces of ancient Egyptian art. It portrays Queen Nefertiti, wife of King Akhenaten (c. 1352–1336 BC), with exquisite grace and symmetry. The original to this faithful model, crafted in painted limestone, it is a testament to the superlative talent of ancient Egyptian artists.

These statues depict Prince Rahotep, son of King Sneferu, and his wife Nofret, dating to the early 4th Dynasty. Rahotep is painted in the traditional reddish-brown tone for men, while Nofret appears in the pale-yellow color conventionally used for women. The vivid preservation of color and the lifelike inlaid eyes make these figures among the most celebrated masterpieces of ancient Egyptian art.

The Statuette of Ptah-Sokar-Osiris is a small, finely carved figure representing the composite god Ptah-Sokar-Osiris. Typically found in tombs, it served as a protective symbol and a focus for rituals of regeneration, linking the deceased to the cycles of creation, death, and rebirth. Its compact form allowed it to be easily included among other funerary objects, emphasizing the hope for eternal life.

Menkaure in the center, accompanied by Hathor on his right, standing with her hands at her sides. The goddess Hathor, to his right, holds his hand, identifiable by the cow’s horns and sun-disc that surmount her wig. The personification of the Theban Nome stands to his left, presented as a short man with his left leg advancing forward, and his arms down by his sides.

This statuette depicts Queen Ahmose-Nefertari, Great Royal Wife of Ahmose I and mother of Amenhotep I. She helped reunify Egypt and establish the 18th Dynasty. Long after her death, she was revered as a protective goddess at Deir el-Medina, home of the royal tomb builders. Votive figures like this reflect personal devotion and often bear the names of those dedicating them, highlighting her lasting authority, sanctity, and close connection to the community.

The ancient Egyptians aspired to a successful rebirth into a blessed afterlife, in the image of the god Osiris. Because he was resurrected thanks to his wife Isis and her sister Nephthys, they were often depicted at the two ends of coffins and sarcophagi. The deceased, thus identified with Osiris, was expected to be reborn into the afterlife as well. The figures of Isis and Nephthys in mourning in the moments before the resurrection of Osiris do not merely represent the inevitability of death, but the promise of the triumph of life over death.

The shabti of Ramesses IV are funerary figurines from the 20th Dynasty of the New Kingdom, designed to act as surrogate workers for the pharaoh in the afterlife, specifically to perform agricultural tasks in the Field of Reeds. These shabtis are typically depicted wearing the royal Nemes headdress and holding agricultural tools, such as hoes, in their hands.

This statuette represents Meretseger, the protective Theban cobra goddess, depicted as a coiled cobra with a female head. The figure embodies both vigilance and the desert’s dangers, reflecting her role as guardian of the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings. Her poised, coiled form suggests readiness to strike, while the female features convey intelligence and divine authority.

Cats were sacred to the goddess Bastet. Because of her protective role, figurines in the form of a seated cat were often worn as amulets. Pious visitors to temples purchased statues and statuettes of cats just like this one, and dedicated them as offerings to this popular and ancient goddess.

This gorgeous artifact, wonderfully replicated here by Konouz, speaks to the ancient Egyptians’ sense of aesthetics and artistic skill. Although in agreement on this artifact’s funerary purpose, Egyptologists differ on its precise use. It may have been used to contain the mummy of a sacred falcon. Alternatively, the Four Sons of Horus, the guardians of the four organs canonically removed during mummification, are depicted on the shrine’s sides, suggesting that it was instead for the mummified organs.

Thutmose III was one of the greatest of all warrior pharaohs. He was a brilliant tactician, and under his rule in the 15th century BC, Egypt’s borders expanded to farther than they ever had before. Thutmose III was also a prolific builder, and great monuments were erected under his wise rule. He was also a patron of the arts, and his reign saw the production of beautiful statuary like the one that this Konouz product is emulating.

The statue is a significant artifact from ancient Egypt. In this statue, King Amenhotep III is represented seated on a throne with his arms placed on his legs, palms down. He wears a short kilt, the Nemes headdress with a fake beard, collar, and a bull’s tail which is visible between his legs. Amenhotep III ruled Egypt for thirty-eight years (c. 1391-1353) during what is largely considered the Golden Age of the 18th Dynasty. The wealth and success of his reign are reflected in art – over 1,000 statues of Amenhotep III were commissioned during his lifetime.

The daughter of Rameses II and his famous wife Queen Nefertari, Merytamun (“She Whom Amun Loves”) lived in the 13th millennium BC, during the New Kingdom. Her father honored her greatly, rededicating a stunningly beautiful existing colossal statue of a queen to her. It is this statue, located in Akhmim, that is faithfully emulated here by Konouz. Although the colossal statue was originally made for a late 18th Dynasty queen, possibly Tey, the wife of King Ay, its rededication to Merytamun by Rameses II was a great honor, revealing his love for his dear daughter.

This statue represents Ka-aper, a high-ranking lector priest, depicted in a confident striding pose with one foot advanced. His rounded body and assured stance convey wealth and social prominence. The carefully modelled face and deeply expressive eyes give the figure a strikingly lifelike presence, emphasising individuality and character. The vivid naturalism of the figure was so compelling that modern excavators associated it with a living village chief, earning the statue its enduring nickname, Sheikh el-Balad.

Food, drink, and other necessities were considered essential for the soul’s survival in the afterlife. A statue of an offering bearer like this one was believed to forever supply the deceased tomb owner with offerings for all eternity. This is why offering bearers are common in ancient Egyptian tomb art. The original artifact emulated by this statuette was discovered in the tomb of the High Steward Meketre. Holding a live duck in her right hand, the offering bearer is balancing a basket on head, just as Egyptians do today.

Osiris was a supreme ancient Egyptian god of the underworld, fertility, agriculture, and resurrection. Mythologically, he was a king of Egypt murdered and dismembered by his brother, Set, then resurrected by his wife, Isis. He was depicted as a mummified king with green skin,symbolizing rebirth, holding a crook and flail.

Isis is a major ancient Egyptian goddess of magic, fertility, motherhood, and healing, known as the "Mother of the Pharaohs" and wife of Osiris. She is famous for resurrecting her husband and protecting her son, Horus. Her worship spread to the Greco-Roman world, making her a supreme, universal deity.

Anthropoid coffins were designed in human form to represent the deceased in an idealized manner. Decorated with sacred texts, protective deities, and symbolic motifs, these coffins served as magical containers for the body. They ensured protection and aided the priest’s rebirth and eternal life in the afterlife according to ancient Egyptian funerary beliefs.

The Statue of Hathor as a Cow Protecting Psamtik is a 26th Dynasty (circa 664–525 BC) Egyptian artifact from Saqqara. The statue depicts Hathor as a cow with a sun disk, uraeus, and two feathers, protecting Psamtik, who stands beneath her chin to symbolize protection, rebirth, and divine motherhood. The cow is depicted with a necklace, a menat counterweight, and a pendant bearing the name of Psamtik.

Sekhmet was a goddess of war, disease, and plagues. Her very name means ‘the Powerful,’ and she was appropriately depicted as a lion-headed woman. Sekhmet was far from being a purely negative deity. As the Eye of Re, she was the daughter of the sun god, and she was the protector of both him and the king, who was considered her son.
