Gazelle

New Kingdom
ca. 1386–1347 BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 119
Cette jeune gazelle, datant aussi du règne d’Amenhotep III, pose délicatement ses minuscules sabots sur le sol inégal de la steppe égyptienne. La maigreur de la végétation est évoquée par des plantes plumetées, incisées dans la base de la figurine et remplies de pigment bleu. L’animal porte haut la tête sur un long cou de cygne, et ses larges yeux de velours marron observent le monde avec émerveillement. Les oreilles ont été cassées et les cornes, qui devaient être faites d’un matériau différent, ont été perdues.
