This bronze statuette represents the priest of Hapy, the god of the annual Nile inundation. This work probably belonged to the temple of Hapy in Aswan. Dynasty 20, (1200-1085 BC).
“This kneeling figure is in a very beautiful posture. The work is of a good stage of the Egyptian art, as we can see how strong the figure is, how straight the shoulders and the chest are and how correct the two feet are. The carving of the cloth is very accurate, with very exact lines in front and on each side. The head, somewhat long on the back, assumes the shape of the Ramesside period of the XIXth - XXth dynasty and, as shaved, it is that of a priest. On the back pillar of the statuette, the hieroglyphs read: “... the priest of Hapy. May Hapy give life to the. . . of the two lands. . .” (hm ntr hapy di ankh hapy tawy. . . )” (Khalil 1976:[1]153).
“The Egyptians made an important distinction between the Nile itself—which was simply known as iterw (“the river”)—and the Nile inundation, which they deified in the form of Hapy” (Shaw & Nicholson 1995:118).
