4th Century Bc 6th Century Bc Curing Figurine Healing Imhotep Late Period Scroll Statuette Ancient Egyptian God Of Medicine Mizraim

EDITORS COMMENTS
This Seated Figure of the God Imhotep Holding a Scroll is an enigmatic masterpiece from ancient Egypt, dating back to the 712-332 B.C. or later period. The creator of this bronze figurine remains unknown, adding to its mystique. Imhotep, depicted as a wise and powerful deity, was revered as the god of medicine, healing, and knowledge in ancient Egyptian religion. He was also considered the architect of the first pyramid for Pharaoh Djoser and was regarded as a sage and vizier during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods. In this image, Imhotep is shown in a contemplative pose, seated on a chair with his legs crossed and his right hand resting on his lap, while his left hand cradles a scroll. The scroll, a symbol of knowledge and wisdom, further emphasizes Imhotep's role as a divine healer and wise counselor. The intricate details of the god's face, with its serene expression and piercing gaze, and the delicate folds of his garments, reveal the exceptional craftsmanship of the artist. This 4th or 6th century B.C. statuette is now part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate visitors and scholars alike. The figure's rich patina and the subtle play of light and shadow in the studio shot evoke a sense of timelessness and wonder, transporting us back to the ancient world and its enduring cultural heritage.
