Доклад: Некоторые неопубликованные скульптуры из собрания Государственного Эрмитажа
Several of the published shawabti have rare inscriptions. Such is the statuette of Ata: in front are 9 lines of the customary inscription from the 6th chapter of the Book of the Dead, on the back a dedication by her son, «the son has done it for the revival of her name - the gatekeeper Amonmes». [Most unusual is the inscription on the shawabti of Samut: «the mighty priest of Ptah, to Samut». O. D. Berlev's translation of this text completely supersedes that of I. M. Luria. Another rare example is the figurine of Hnumhotep son of Ichet, dated in the Middle Kingdom. It came to the museum trom B. A. Turayev's collection, after his death, and was dated by him.
The rest come from the XVIII dynasty. A shawabti of Amenemhet, a contemporary of Tutmose III and Amcnhotpe II. Amenemhet is well known for his many inscriptions. Having begun his career modestly, he later held high posts. Another shawabti belongs to Kenamun, half-brother (on the mother's side) of the king. He held many administrative and honorary offices, among them that of inspector of the royal gardens, a post which was abolished after his time. Shawabti from the XIX and XXI dynasties have been published by the present author in VD I 1980,3.
Also interesting are the shawabti of Padiptah, priest of Ra-Setau and Bastet, and his son Padipep,. Who put up a stele in the Serapium on which are mentioned his father Padiptah and mother Bastetirdies. From the same period comes the shawabti of Bakenrennef and Paabumeh. The thcophoric name Paabumeh indicates a date in the reign of Psammetichus II (Paabumeh-renef-nefer-Psammetik-seneb); instead of the mother's name the father's is given - Aaha. Finally there is the shawabti of Padineitu, head of the house of Amenerdis, worshipper of the god. Padineitu's son was the last ruler of the house, since Cambyses conquered Egypt in his time.
