Trabajos de Egiptología/ Papers on Ancient Egypt, 2022
In this paper, a silver sculpture that entered the Egyptian collection of the Museo Arqueológico Nacional, Madrid, in 2005 is studied. It is a striding figure on a rectangular base, registered as an image of the Egyptian goddess Khereduankh, and dated to the Ptolemaic Period. In this study, a possible attribution to the goddess Renpetneferet is not ruled out and the results of a metallographic analysis are used to establish a more accurate date of the production of the sculpture. Keywords: Imhotep, Khereduankh, metallographic analysis, Ptolemaic Egypt, Renpetneferet, silver Una estatuilla femenina egipcia del Museo Arqueológico Nacional de Madrid En este artículo revisamos una escultura en plata que entró a formar parte de las colecciones del Museo Arqueológico Nacional, Madrid, en el año 2005. Se trata de una figura en pie, en actitud de marcha, sobre pedestal rectangular, que es presentada en la institución como una imagen de la divinidad Khereduankh y fechada en época ptolemaica. Consideramos que no debe descartarse una posible atribución a la diosa Renpetneferet y, mediante los resultados de un análisis metalográfico realizado sobre la pieza, proponemos una cronología más ajustada para la elaboración de la escultura.

THE Statuette Group of God Amun and Amenirdis I: Cairo Museum (CG 42199)
2019
This article is to study the Karnak statuette group CG exhibited in the Egyptian museum in Cairo. The statuette group is an innovation in the ancient Egyptian Art, since it reflects an immense amount of passion and love between Amenirdis I, the God’s wife of the 25th Dynasty and her spouse God Amun. This type of emotions was only represented in the Amarna art. The statuette group is inscribed by inscriptions giving names and titles of Amun and Amenirdis I that were mistranslated. The titles contributed in understanding the significance behind the statuette group

A dark brown papyrus damaged in the right upper side. It measures 10 cm width and 18.2 cm height, mutilated and suffers from some holes. The upper, lower and left margins are kept. The document contains eighteen lines, the ink in the beginning of the first line and the end of the fifth line is so abraded that makes the reading difficult. The letters have been written separately across the fibers on the verso side in a professional semi cursive hand. This text is one of a papyrus collection found in Fayum province by the farmers and brought to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo in 26 June 1927. The majority of these papyri are from Theadelphia village (Harit) and a very few from Karanis village (Kom Oshim). This text is a list of sixteen men, most probably of persons available for service. One of those men, Heron son of Aphrodisios (line 6), has been mentioned in Soterichos archive, who lived in Theadelphia in the second half of the 1 st and the beginning of the 2 nd century (1). He was a lessor of a palm-grove together with another person, and gave the lessee Soterichos a receipt for rent (2). Heron the son of Aphrdisios was in the year 88 AD about forty years old (3) , therefore one may assume that this list returns to the same place and date of Soterichos archive.

Études et Travaux, 2015
This article is dedicated to the study and comparison of the inscriptions and iconography of the red granite colossal statue in the British Museum, inv. no. AES 61. The idea behind this paper was to demonstrate how the rigorous application of iconographical analysis of facial features can contribute to the precise dating of the classical pharaonic sculptures. This procedure when applied to the above-mentioned statue allows to conclude that it was originally conceived for Amenhotep II and usurped, later on, by Ramesses II and his successor Merenptah – not by modifying or changing its original facial features, but only by adding their own cartouches.

The archaeology and art of ancient Egypt: essays in honor of David B. O'Connor, 2007
I am one of those privileged to claim David O'Connor as my professor and mentor. He was a wonderful teacher, and no one could ask for a better or more generous dissertation advisor. His support and encouragement were vital to me throughout graduate school, and continue to be of great value today. His ideas and perspectives on Egyptology and related fields, informed by his vast knowledge of ancient Egypt and his willingness to think outside the traditional Egyptological box, help keep the field fresh for us all. I dedicate this article to David O'Connor, in gratitude and in recognition of his unsurpassed scholarship and contributions to Egyptology.
