Os ataúdes amarelos: as novas práticas oficinais tebanas da XXI dinastia

  • Rogério Sousa
Palavras-chave: ataúdes amarelos, XXI dinastia, necrópole tebana, oficinas funerárias

Resumo

Os ataúdes amarelos destacam-se pela sua profusa decoração pictórica. Com raízes no período de Amarna e nas inovações introduzidas durante o período ramséssida, a definição plena do esquema decorativo dos ataúdes amarelos definiu-se na viragem para a XXI dinastia. A complexidade e variabilidade que caracteriza estes objectos exigiu uma transformação profunda na forma de organizar o trabalho nas oficinas funerárias tebanas. Baseado no trabalho que o Gate of the Priest Project tem desenvolvido na última década nos chamados “Foreign Lots” de Bab el-Gassus, o presente estudo procura sistematizar algumas das transformações que se podem detectar na observação dos ataúdes dos sacerdotes de Ámon, quer ao nível das práticas de carpintaria, quer ao nível das práticas de pintura e decoração. Em última análise, estas mudanças ajudam-nos a clarificar a função que os ataúdes antropomórficos amarelos desempenharam na sociedade tebana da XXI dinastia.
