Gacela

New Kingdom

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 119

La joven gacela, que también data del reinado de Amenofis III, planta con precaución sus pezuñas en la tierra de la estepa egipcia. La escasa vegetación se indica mediante formas vegetales plumosas, cinceladas en la base de la figura y coloreadas con pigmento azul. La cabeza de la gacela se yergue alerta sobre un largo cuello, y sus grandes ojos castaños y aterciopelados contemplan el mundo con asombro. Las orejas se han roto y los cuernos, realizados en otro material, han desaparecido.
