EDITORS COMMENTS
This Female Fertility Figurine hails from Egypt's Second Intermediate Period (1640-1532 BCE), a time of cultural and artistic development in the Nile Valley. The exact creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to its allure and mystery. Dating back to the 16th century BC, this figurine is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of ancient Egypt. Crafted from ceramic, this small-scale sculpture stands as a powerful symbol of female fertility and motherhood. The figurine's low section is widened to represent the hips and thighs, emphasizing the feminine form. The leg is bent at the knee, suggesting a seated position, while the upper body and head are lost to time. The figurine's close-up perspective invites the viewer to examine the intricate details of her body, from the textured surface of her skin to the delicate folds of her clothing. The figurine's colorful design is reminiscent of the vibrant art of the Mizraim culture, which flourished during the Second Intermediate Period. The use of color adds depth and dimension to the figurine, making it a striking example of ancient Egyptian art. This figurine was once part of the vast collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it was cherished and studied by scholars and visitors alike. Today, it continues to inspire awe and fascination, serving as a reminder of the enduring power of ancient art and the mysteries of the past.
