MODEL SAILBOAT

Model Sailboat. Dimensions: L. 145 cm (57 1/16 in.), with rudder 158 cm (62 3/16 in.); W. 28 cm (11 in.), with mast 81 cm (31 7/8 in.); H. 53.4 cm (21 in.), with mast 112 cm (44 1/8 in.). Dynasty: Dynasty 12. Reign: reign of Amenemhat I, early. Date: ca. 1981-1975 B.C..
The green color of the hull of this boat, its vertical prow, backward-curving stern and double steering oars imitate elements of vessels made from papyrus stalks. Even the lashings of the leather sheaths that covered prow and stern of such boats are rendered.  Boats of this particular type appear in representations of the "pilgrimage to Abydos" that was part of the Egyptian funerary ritual from the Middle Kingdom onwards.  The ritual character of this boat trip is clearly demonstrated by the fact that not the living Meketre but a statue sits under the baldaquin accompanied by a companion (possibly his son), while priests perform offering rituals in front of it.  The basic idea of a trip to the major cult center of the god Osiris at Abydos, where the god's death and resurrection were celebrated, is however maintained by the presence of two boats: one that is rowed northward from Thebes to Abydos (20.3.5), and another (the present boat) that is just setting out on the back trip its (missing) sail being hoisted by the men in the center, while a single sailor pushes it off the embankment with a forked pole.

MODEL SAILBOAT
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Modelo de Velero. Dimensiones: L. 145 cm (57 1/16 pulg.), con timón de 158 cm (62 3/16 pulg.); W. 28 cm (11 pulg.), con mástil de 81 cm (31 7/8 pulg.); H. 53,4 cm (21 pulg.), con mástil de 112 cm (44 1/8 pulg.). Dinastía: Dinastía 12. Reinado: reinado de Amenemhat I, temprano. Fecha: ca. 1981-1975 a.C. El color verde del casco de este barco, su proa vertical, su popa curvada hacia atrás y sus remos dobles imitan elementos de embarcaciones hechas de tallos de papiro. Incluso los amarres de las fundas de cuero que cubrían la proa y la popa de tales barcos están modelados. Barcos de este tipo particular aparecen en representaciones de la "peregrinación a Abidos" que formaba parte del ritual funerario egipcio desde el Reino Medio en adelante. El carácter ritual de este viaje en barco queda claramente demostrado por el hecho de que no es el Meketre vivo, sino una estatua la que se sienta debajo del baldaquino acompañada por un compañero (posiblemente su hijo), mientras los sacerdotes realizan rituales de ofrenda frente a él. Sin embargo, la idea básica de un viaje al principal centro de culto del dios Osiris en Abidos, donde se celebraba la muerte y resurrección del dios, se mantiene por la presencia de dos barcos: uno que rema hacia el norte desde Tebas hasta Abidos (20.3.5 ), y otro (el barco actual) que recién emprende el viaje de regreso, con la vela (faltante) siendo izada por los hombres en el centro, mientras un solo marinero lo empuja fuera del terraplén con una pértiga bifurcada
