Dit kalkstenen voorwerp, dat in 1934 door J. Capart gekocht is in de kunsthandel van Cairo, behoort tot een type beeldjes die voornamelijk afkomstig zijn uit het werkmansdorp van Deir el-Medina. Deze stukken, die één of twee bustes van personen afbeelden, stellen individuen voor en geen godheden. Ze werden in nissen in de huizen geplaatst en herdachten zo de voorouders van de familie, die "voortreffelijke geesten van Re" geworden waren en aan wie talrijke offers werden opgedragen. Dit beeldje is een mooi voorbeeld van de "voorouderbusten" die een koppel afbeelden, de vrouw links en de man rechts. Het dateert uit de 19e of de 20e dynastie.

This limestone object, which was acquired in the art trade of Cairo in 1934 by J. Capart, belongs to a type of figurines which come for the most part from the village of the workers of Deir el-Medinah. Depicting one or two people in bust, these works represent individuals and not divinities. They were placed in the niches in the houses and commemorate in this way the ancestors of the family, becoming the "excellent spirits of Re" to which many offerings were dedicated. This figurine is a beautiful example of the "busts of ancestors" representing a couple, the woman on the left and the man on the right. It dates from the 19th or from the 20th Dynasty.

Dieses Objekt aus Kalkstein, das 1934 von J. Capart im Kairener Kunsthandel erworben wurde, gehört zu einem Figurentypus, der hauptsächlich aus dem Arbeiterdorf Deir el-Medina bekannt ist. Diese Werke, die eine oder zwei Personen als Büste darstellen, zeigen Privatleute, nicht Gottheiten. Sie wurden in Nischen in den Häusern gesetzt und erinnerten an die Vorfahren der Familie, die "ausgezeichnete Geister des Re" geworden waren, denen verschiedene Opfer zuteil wurden. Diese Figur ist ein schönes Beispiel für eine Ahnenbüste eines Paares mit der Frau links und dem Mann rechts. Sie datiert in die 19. oder 20. Dynastie.
