Summary
[edit]
| Description | This Hewet ewer is made of separate pieces of sheet gold for the neck, spout, body, and foot. They were hammered separately and then soldered together. It is inscribed with a dedication to Osiris in the name of Ahmose I, the first king of Dynasty 18 of Ancient Egypt.[1] It is not known how it came to be in the tomb of Psusennes I. Ahmose fought against the Hyksos, and it is possible that it came from a monument of his reign in the eastern Nile Delta. Hes-ewers were used for pouring ritual libations; a hieroglyphic sign representing one and read hes is the writing of the Egyptian word for “praise.”. This object was on display at the "Exposition Ramsès II L'or des Pharaons, 2023"[2] in Paris, France. |
