conservado na Colecção Rui Moreira. Recorrendo a uma abordagem comparativa
envolvendo objectos apresentando características similares, propomos a reconstrução
do contexto arqueológico original do objecto e sua datação. Esta abordagem
permite-nos identificar no objecto em estudo evidências da renovação cultural
empreendida em Tebas durante a ocupação dos faraós Kuchitas. This paper focuses on the examination of the fragment of an Egyptian sculpture kept in the Collection Rui Moreira. Using a comparative approach with objects featuring a similar design, we propose a reconstruction of the object regarding its original archaeological context and dating. This approach allows us to identify this object as an important piece of evidence of the cultural renewal carried out in Thebes under the rule of the Kushite kings. |
