Item Details

Description

An Egyptian Painted Limestone Fragment
New Kingdom, 18th-20th Dynasty, 1550-1070 B.C.
Width 11 3/4 inches (29.85 cm).
Property from a Midwest Private Collection

Provenance
Kim's Auction, Burwood, Australia, Antique and Collectable Art Auction, 24 October 2021, Lot 166.

This limestone fragment, decorated with applied gesso, features a vervet monkey grasping a cluster of grapes in both paws. The monkey is tethered to the leg of a chair where the lady of the house is likely to sit. In Ancient Egyptian symbolism, monkeys and grapes signify fertility, indicating the woman’s capacity to sustain the lineage. The depiction behind the lady subtly underscores her vital role in ensuring prosperity and continuity in the household.
