拍品描述 翻译
A STEATITE SCARAB FOR SOBEK, LATE PERIOD This lot is from a single owner collection and is therefore offered without reserve Egypt, 664-332 BC. Finely carved as a beetle with particular attention paid to the head and clypeus, while the legs are defined in low relief along the sides. The amulet is drilled horizontally for suspension. The base finely engraved with the crocodile-headed god Sobek holding a long-stemmed flower above the hatched neb-basket sign, reading ‘ Sobek, the Lord’ . Provenance: Peter Schneider, Brussels, Belgium, by 2011. Jorgen Ruben, acquired from the above. In the Jorgen Ruben Collection for 15 years . Peter Schneider is the founder and curator of Treasuregate Gallery – Art of the Ancient, an international dealership specializing in ancient art, minerals, fossils, and scholarly literature. Formerly based near the Sablon district in Brussels and now operating from the Netherlands, he has built a reputation for a research-driven approach emphasizing authenticity, provenance, and historical context. Jorgen Ruben is a Danish art dealer and collector who has been active for over four decades and is highly regarded in the fields of Asian art and classical antiquities. Raised in an art-conscious family, Ruben was exposed early to both modern painting and European decorative arts. He began working in the art trade in the mid-1970s, first with Persian rugs and later with antiques, while travels to Iran and a visit to Persepolis sparked his lasting interest in antiquity. After studies in Copenhagen and London, he worked in England with a dealer in early furniture, before travelling widely in Latin America and Asia, deepening his knowledge of regional art and culture. In 1984 Ruben opened a gallery in Copenhagen dealing in Asian antiquities. He was later active in London and, in the early 2000s, operated the Brussels gallery Classic Art. Much of his career, however, has been conducted privately from home, selling by appointment to collectors, galleries, and museums. Ruben has always bought selectively, choosing only works that deeply engaged him, and often keeping them for many years until placing them with a collector he felt truly understood them. Important Note: For essential information on the Jorgen Ruben Gallery Ledger and provenance documentation please visit here: www.zacke.at/rubencollection_ledger Condition: Good condition with expected ancient wear, small old chips, tiny nicks, signs of prolonged burial, encrustations, remnants of glaze. Weight: 3 g Dimensions: Length 1.9 cm The ancient Egyptians adored the dung beetle as a symbol of the daily passage of the sun, as it pushed the dung ball forward it mirrored the sun disk moving across the sky. From the First Intermediate Period to the Late Period, the scarab was a popular shape for small amulets and stamp seals as a symbol for creation and resurrection. Sobek was one of the most important and complex deities in ancient Egyptian religion, closely associated with the Nile, fertility, military power, and the unpredictable forces of water. Typically depicted either as a crocodile or as a human figure with a crocodile head, Sobek embodied both the life-giving abundance of the river and its dangerous, destructive power. His cult centers, particularly in the Faiyum region and at Kom Ombo, highlight his dual nature as both protector and formidable force, often linked with royal authority and divine kingship. Sobek was also integrated into broader theological systems, at times associated with solar deities such as Re, reflecting his role in cosmic regeneration and cyclical renewal. Worshipped from the Old Kingdom through the Ptolemaic and Roman periods, Sobek’s enduring presence in Egyptian religion underscores the central importance of the Nile in Egyptian life, where control over water and fertility was inseparable from ideas of divine protection, sovereignty, and cosmic order.
