Description
Damaged hind part of a statue, probably a sphinx, with hieroglyphic inscription around the base identifying the king thus depicted as Merenptah, son and successor of Ramesses II, in the 19th Dynasty (thirteenth century BC). The statue fragment was found by Flinders Petrie at the shrine of Hathor on the Sinai plateau at Sarabit el-Khadim. Merenptah is sometimes identified as the Pharaoh in Exodus, adding a certain interest to this Sinai sculpture. There is however no direct evidence to support the identification.

Beschadigd achterdeel van een beeld, waarschijnlijk een sfinx, met hiërogliefeninscriptie op de basis die de afgebeelde koning identificeert als Merenptah, zoon en opvolger van Ramses II in de 19e Dynastie (dertiende eeuw voor Christus). Het beeldfragment is gevonden door Flinders Petrie bij het heiligdom voor de godin Hathor op het Sinaïplateau bij Serabit el-Chadim. Merenptah wordt soms geïdentificeerd met de farao in Exodus, waardoor een zeker extra belang aan dit beeld uit de Sinaï wordt toegekend. Er is echter geen direct bewijs om deze identificatie te ondersteunen.
Partie postérieure endommagée d'une statue, probablement un sphinx. Une inscription hiéroglyphique, qui fait le tour de la base, permet d'identifier le roi représenté: Mérenptah, fils et successeur de Ramsès II, sous la XIXème Dynastie (13ème siècle avant J.-C.). La statue fragmentaire a été découverte par Flinders Petrie, dans le sanctuaire d'Hathor, sur le plateau du Sinaï, à Serabit el-Khadim. Mérenptah est parfois considéré comme le pharaon de l'Exode, ce qui ajoute un certain intérêt à cette sculpture du Sinaï. Cependant, aucun témoignage évident ne vient corroborer cette identification.
Beschädigte hintere Hälfte einer Statue, wahrscheinlich einer Sphinx, mit einer Hieroglypheninschrift entlang der Basis, die den so dargestellten König als Merenptah, Sohn und Nachfolger Ramses' II. in der 19. Dynastie (13. Jahrhundert. v. Chr.) identifiziert. Das Statuenfragment wurde von Flinders Petrie am Schrein der Hathor auf dem Sinai in Serabit el-Chadim gefunden. Merenptah wird manchmal als der Pharao des Exodus identifiziert, was der Sinaiskulptur ein zusätzliches Interesse verleiht. Es gibt allerdings keine direkten Hinweise, die diese Identifizierung stützen.
Parte posteriore danneggiata di una statua, probabilmente una sfinge, con l'iscrizione geroglifica attorno alla base che identifica il re rappresentato come Merenptah, figlio e successore di Ramses II, nella XIX Dinastia (tredicesimo secolo a.C.). Il frammento della statua è stato trovato da Flinders Petrie nel tempio di Hathor nell'altopiano del Sinai a Serabit el-Khadim. Merenptah è a volte identificato come il faraone dell'Esodo, cosa che aggiunge un certo interesse a questa scultura del Sinai. Non vi è comunque alcuna prova diretta che permetta di sostenere questa identificazione.
Parte traseira, danificada, de uma estátua, provavelmente uma esfinge, com inscrção hieroglífica em volta da base, identificando o rei como Merenptah, filho e sucessor de Ramsés II, da XIX dinastia (séc. XIII a.C.). . A figura foi encontrada por Flinders Petrie na capela de Hathor, no planalto do Sinai em Serabit el-Khadim. Merenptah é muitas vezes identificado como o faraó do êxodo, adicionando um certo interesse a esta figura do Sinai. No entanto, não há provas que suportem esta identificação.
Parte trasera de una estatua, probablemente de esfinge, con una inscripción jeroglífica alrededor de la base que identifica al rey así representado como Merenptah, hijo y sucesor de Remsés II, en la Dinastía XIX (siglo XIII a. C.). Este fragmento de estatua fue encontrado por Flinders Petrie en el santuario de la diosa Hathor en la meseta del Sinaí, en Serabit el-Jadim. Merenptah es identificado en ocasiones con el faraón del Éxodo, lo que añade un cierto interés a esta escultura. Sin embargo, no hay ninguna evidencia que apoye tal identificación.
