Acerca de la obra
Descripción de objeto de CurationistDating to about 2,000 BCE this paddle doll has a painted, keyhole-shaped body and beaded strings for hair. The pubic region is demarcated by hair and a prominent labia painted on the rounded bottom. Its shape resembles the menat amulet, typically worn on beaded necklaces. The menat would be shaken like a rattle to appease deities. Likewise, the paddle doll's hair creates a percussive sound against the wooden body when shaken.
Paddle dolls have been found in group burials among instruments used by professional dance groups, known as kheners. Khener dancers were devotees of the goddess Hathor, who is often depicted with menats. The groups mainly performed at funeral ceremonies.
