A detailed Summary of rsearch

The piece I choose to do for my research paper is called "Wadjet". It is an Egyptian piece of art. Wadjet was the protectress of the king and the tutelary deity of Lower Egypt. The sculpture is from the 26th dynasty.

The piece is a votive figure. The Egyptian iconography has gods that were shown with human torsos and animal heads. It was probably left in temples as a form of offering to the gods. The figure is 13 inches high with well preserved detail and description on the rectangular base that says the name of the goddess, "Wadjet" to who the statue was dedicated to. The goddess "Wadjet" is a female goddess shown with the head of a lioness. There was several other Egyptian Goddess that had the head of a lioness. She has an excellent amount of detail around her face and her body too. She is a very well preserved piece of art.

The appearance of this piece of art is that it is standing up-right with her right arm at her side and her left arm held also at her side, but it is bent at the elbow and extended forward in front of the goddess. The goddess

I enjoyed viewing this piece because it was a piece of Egyptian art that I had never seen before. I have always enjoyed viewing Egyptian art and it surprised me how much I had learned after viewing this piece.

The piece has a very narrow waist that shows the Egyptian style of idealization. Idealization is the rendering of important figures in ideal physical condition as viewed by the Egyptians at that time. She is wearing clothes, she is wearing a thin garment that goes to about her calf, and it reveals her female features. The goddess figure is done with a good rendering of the female body. Her breast contours are very noticeable under her thin garment. Her navel is also visible as well as her midriff.

The base that the goddess is standing on still bares the inscription that says her purpose and name. On the top of her head there is a full sun disc that represents the god Ra. Ra is the sun god. He was the most powerful god. She also has the uraeus. The uraeus was the sacred cobra. It is in front of the sun disc on the top of her head. On her arms
