Extranjeros

New Kingdom, Amarna Period
ca. 1353–1336 B.C.
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 121
Este fragmento de relieve procedente de Amarna fue reutilizado en Hermópolis. Representa las cabezas de cuatro extranjeros: dos nubios a la derecha y, tal vez, dos libios a la izquierda. No está claro si los brazos en alto y las manos que sostienen palos (quizás de parasoles) pertenecen a los mismos individuos. Es posible que las líneas ondulantes en la parte inferior del bloque representen riendas de caballos, indicando que estos hombres acompañan a un rey y una reina que se desplazan en un carro. Durante el reinado de Akhenatón, los extranjeros sirvieron tanto en el ejército egipcio y como guardaespaldas del monarca.
