Cálice

Third Intermediate Period
ca. 945–664 B.C.
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 125
O copo com haste de faiança em forma de flor de lótus azul já existia na Dinastia XVIII (ca. 1550–1295 a.C.). No início do primeiro milênio a.C., evoluiu até converter-se em cálice ricamente ornamentado que não era usado para beber, mas como objeto votivo e vaso ritualístico. Os relevos deste copo evocam mitos relacionados com o nascimento do faraó, filho do deus-sol. A paisagem pantanosa no registro central refere-se à renovação do mundo egípcio após a inundação do Nilo em cada verão.
