Two of a Kind

Summary The pantheistic goddess statuette New York MMA 2009.86 provides further insight into the almost identically conceived statuette Hannover 4538. Both statuettes can be interpreted as a three-dimensional representation of the constantly occurring cosmic renewal. The objects, which probably originally served as funerary equipment, are connected to the daily union of Re and Osiris, respectively the interaction between nḥḥ and ḏ.t and thus ensuring the daily regeneration of the deceased.
