Gazela

New Kingdom
ca. 1390–1352 B.C.
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 119
A jovem gazela, que também data do reinado de Amenotepe III, coloca com precaução seus cascos na terra da estepe egípcia. A escassa vegetação é indicada mediante as formas vegetais plumosas, inseridas na base da figura e coloridas com pigmento azul. A cabeça da gazela se ergue em alerta sobre um delgado pescoço e seus grandes olhos castanhos e aveludados contemplam o mundo com assombro. As orelhas foram quebradas e os chifres, feitos com outro tipo de material, desapareceram.
