Bocchoris vase (original) (raw)
The Bocchoris vase is a ceramic container dating from ancient Egypt. It was found in 1895 in a tomb at Tarquinia, and is now in the National Museum at Tarquinia (22.2 cm high; Museum inv. no. RC 2010). The vessel, often also labelled as situla and made of Egyptian faience, bears an inscription with the names of the 24th Dynasty pharaoh Wahkare Bakenrenef (Ancient Greek: Bocchoris) who ruled about 720 to 715 BC. It shows the king between the Egyptian goddess Neith and the god Horus in the middle register, on one side and on the other between Horus and Thoth. In the lower register are shown Kushite prisoners between monkeys eating dates from palm trees, a depiction which was considered by Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson as racial propaganda. The vessel is an important evidence for long distance

| dbo:abstract | Die Bocchorisvase (auch Bokchorisvase) wurde 1895 in einem etruskischen Grab in Tarquinia gefunden und befindet sich heute im (Inventarnummer RC 2010). Die Vase, in der Literatur manchmal auch als Situla bezeichnet, ist 22,2 cm hoch und hat einen Durchmesser von 12,5 cm. Sie ist aus Ägyptischer Fayence gearbeitet. Auf der Außenseite findet sich eine Reliefdekoration in zwei Registern. Das obere Register zeigt zwei Kultszenen. In der ersten sieht man einen ägyptischen König zwischen der Göttin Neith und dem Gott Horus stehen. In der zweiten Szene sieht man wiederum den König, der von Thot zu Horus geleitet wird. Im unteren Register sind mehrere kniende und gefesselte nubische Gefangene dargestellt. Wiederum im oberen Register befindet sich eine vertikale Inschrift, die den Thron- und Geburtsnamen des ägyptischen Pharaos (Königs) Wah-ka-Re Bakenrenef nennt. Dieser Herrscher regierte etwa 720 bis 716 v. Chr. und wird in griechischen Quellen als Bokchoris (altgriechisch Βόκχορις) bezeichnet. Deshalb erhielt die Vase ihren modernen Namen. Der Herstellungsort der Vase wird in der Forschung kontrovers diskutiert. Einerseits wird vermutet, dass die Vase in Phönizien produziert wurde. Anderseits wird vorgeschlagen, dass sie in Ägypten hergestellt wurde und dann nach Etrurien verhandelt wurde. (de) The Bocchoris vase is a ceramic container dating from ancient Egypt.

In the lower register are shown Kushite prisoners between monkeys eating dates from palm trees, a depiction which was considered by Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson as racial propaganda. The vessel is an important evidence for long distance trade in the 9th and 8th century BC. It is furthermore of some importance for dating earlier phases of Etruscan culture in Italy. Because of the good preservation of the vessel, it has been argued that it came very shortly after it was made into the Etruscan tomb. The place of production of the vase is under discussion. The object appears on the first view fully Egyptian. The hieroglyphs are readable. However, some researchers regard the vase as a product of a Phoenician workshop, since it is known that the Phoenicians often produced objects in Egyptian style. The Phoenician origin was suggested after the discovery of a similar – yet of a somewhat lower quality – vessel near Motya, Sicily. However, the finding at Tarquinia of two situliform vessels with the names of Psamtik I and Psamtik II respectively, again suggested a Lower Egyptian origin of the Bocchoris vase. The vase was found in 1895 in a tomb chamber with a pitched roof and a bench. The tomb owner might be a woman judging from the objects found: gold foil plaques might have adorned clothing; many Egyptian beads were found (two beads show the Egyptian god Bes); there were bronze and pottery vessels. Due to the Bocchoris vase being the best known object from the tomb, by metonymy the whole tomb is often called "Bocchoris Tomb", despite not having any connection with the actual burial place of king Bakenrenef/Bocchoris, which is still unknown.
