 | Thutmose III British Museum Egypt Figure. Kaiyodo
Super miniature reproduction of one of the ancient Egyptian artifacts on display at the British Museum. Beautifully packaged in a box covered with pictures and info relating to the reproduction inside.
Head of Thutmose III.
Thutmose III was the son of Thutmose II. When Thutmose II died, his wife Hatshepsut acted as regent for the first years of the reign of Thutmose III.
By the year seven of his reign she had taken the title of Pharaoh, thus delaying the full accession of her nephew. He finally came to the throne in about 1458 BC. It was probably not until late in his reign that he removed Hatshepsut's name from her monuments and replaced it with his own.
Figure is 5cm (2.5") tall (Without the plinth).

Super miniature reproduction of one of the ancient Egyptian artifacts on display at the British Museum. Beautifully packaged in a box covered with pictures and info relating to the reproduction inside.
Model of a glass bottle in the form of a fish plus inscribed model tablet.
The Tilapia: symbolic of rebirth.
Glass vessels seem to have been primarily functional rather than ritual objects; their main use was as containers for cosmetics or precious oils. However, in this case the fish design might hint at some further meaning. This is a Nile tilapia fish, which hatches and shelters her young in her mouth. The emergence of the live offspring from the tilapia's mouth led to the fish being used as a symbol of rebirth and regeneration.
Fish is 5cm (2") long (Without the plinth). Made by Kaiyodo Japan.
