Summary

Description
English: Lamp met handvat in de vorm van een paard uit de piramide van Koningin Amanikhatashan te Meroë. MFA, Boston. Tentoonstelling NUBIË, Land van de Zwarte Farao’s, Drents Museum, Assen ©Hans Ollermann

Koningin Amanikhatashan was de enige regerende Nubische vorstin uit het midden van de eerste eeuw na Christus. Haar piramide bevatte veel Romeinse kostbaarheden. Het is daarom aannemelijk dat deze lamp, met een handvat met een galopperend paard aan het uiteinde, uit de Romeinse wereld afkomstig is.

De Romeinse schrijver Plinius beschrijft een bezoek aan Meroë door een delegatie van keizer Nero. De vondsten in Amanikhatashan’s graf zijn mogelijk geschenken uit Rome geweest.

Romeins Keizerrijk, 50-75 na Chr., brons.

Exhibition NUBIA Land of the Black Pharaohs 16 DECEMBER 2018 – 5 MAY 2019.

The exhibition is a collaboration of the Drents Museum in Zwolle, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Between 1907 and 1928 researchers from the museum in Boston were involved in the excavations of the finds in Nubia, which is why the American museum now has the most diverse Nubian collection in the world.

Wikipedia encyclopedia: Amanikhatashan was a ruling queen of Kush (c. 62-c. 85). Her proper title is Kandake. Her pyramid is at Meroe in the Sudan. She was preceded by Amanitenmemide (c. 50-62) and succeeded by Teritnide. -.- Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA).
