Behälter für Augenschminke in Gestalt einer Äffin mit Jungem
6. Dynastie, Zeit Pepi I., ca. 2354-2310 v. Chr.
Das Gefäß ist in der Form einer Äffin, die vor sich ihr Junges hält, gestaltet. Im Inneren des Salbgefäßes konnten noch Reste des für die Augenschminke verwendeten Bleiglanzes festgestellt werden. Die Äffin trug ursprünglich ein aus einem anderen Material gearbeitetes Halsband. An den Armen sind Armbänder graviert. Es handelt sich daher um die Darstellung einer Affenmutter, die als Haustier gehalten wurde, was in Ägypten sehr beliebt war. Wertvolle Gefäße wie dieses konnten im Rahmen von Thronjubiläumsfeiern vom König an verdiente Beamte verschenkt werden. Darauf weist der am rechten Oberarm gravierte Thronname des Königs Pepi I. hin.
