ABSTRACT
CYRIL Aldred was perhaps best known for his research and publications on Egyptian art of the New Kingdom, especially Dynasty XVIII and earlier times, but he sometimes also benefited his professional colleagues by turning his trained art historian's eye, and his felicitous command of English, to later eras. In one such study he managed within a few brief pages not only to improve our knowledge of the iconography of a major deity but also to help lay the basis for the study of several significant aspects of the artistic style of the Third Intermediate Period.! Hence it seems appropriate to contribute to this volume of studies in memory of Cyril Aldred the pUblication of several objects relevant to the study of the art of the Third Intermediate Period.
