So during Playing With the Big Boys, they're just chanting the gods' names and I was like HEY I KNOW THOSE GUYS!

Everyone in my fam just looked at me like this 😭

On this ostracon, sketched in black, the gazelle is the goddess Anuket, emerging from the mountains -- you may have seen many images of the Hathor-cow emerging from similarly stylised hills. Her worshipper, on the other side of a huge pile of offerings, is a royal scribe. Man and gazelle, and the hills, are painted pale orange. I took this photo at the Ramses and the Gold of the Pharaohs exhibition at the Australian Museum.

When: New Kingdom, Dynasty 19/20

Information

Anuket was originally a Nubian goddess who migrated to Egypt during the Old Kingdom (6th dynasty), but she wasn’t depicted or recorded until the Middle Kingdom. She was the goddess of the southern border region of Egypt. She was the personification of the Nile, according to some sources; but we know for sure she was heavily associated with the Nile. She helped guard the first cataract from evil, along with the other two members of the triad.

Her association with the life giving source of the Nile, led to her being associated with motherhood, specifically the mother of the pharaoh. She is the mother of Re, a protective deity during childbirth, and can be seen nursing a few different pharaohs.

[17] -- ANUKET

✦ TITLE: Lady Anuket -- The personified Goddess of the Nile River

✦ SACRED ANIMAL: The Gazelle ✦ DIVINE WEAPON: Bow and Arrow ✦ NOTABLE EPITHETS: "Lady of the Cataracts; The Embracer; The Giver of Life; The Woman Who Brings The Flood" ✦ PROFILE: https://deitiesproject.com/portfolio/anuket/

----------

Lady Anuket is the daughter of Khnum and the younger step-sister of Sobek. She serves alongside other river gods who include her brother and more.

Anuket is gifted at displaying refined and gracious manners among her peers, and fulfilling her duties to perfection. But this kind river goddess still maintains her boundaries and principles; it's best not to test her patience, nor to mistake her grace for being delicate.
