A remarkable double statue of an ancient Egyptian scribe named Nakhtmin, and his wife Tiy who served as a ‘Chantress of goddess Isis’. The statue was discovered during excavations in Abydos (northern necropolis). It depicts the couple sitting side by side, each on a stool. Nakhtmin is seated on the left, wearing a shoulder-length hair wig that half covers his ears, a long-pleated apron reaching to the middle of the calf with a trapezoidal centre piece and a pair of sandals. His wife wears a long hair wig and a long-pleated garment knotted below her right breast reaching down to her ankles. She places her right hand tenderly on her husband’s left shoulder. Below her chair, is a little monkey playing with a piece of fruit. The back pillar of the statue is somewhat narrower than the two chairs of the seated couple, extending up to their head level. The entire group is fixed on a step in front of an offering table. The art stylistic details of the statue point at a date in late Dynasty 18 or early Dynasty 19.
