Although the detail has been ‘playing’ off the original colour, the beauty of this Johann Baptist Stahl, Mettlach, Phanolith plaque finds itself almost enhanced by Hadrian6 digitalization effort. Johann Baptist Stahl (1869 - 1932), was not only a designer and modeler, but the inventor of the Phanolith. Growing up in a family of potters, his studies of ceramics, modelling and sculpture led him to Strasbourg and Höhr & Grenzhausen. His detailed, translucent and finely worked porcelain reliefs gained him a gold medal at the 1900 World’s Fair in Paris. Influenced in part by art nouveau, Jean-Baptist Stahl took inspiration from Greek mythology, and of rural life. Usually, the white translucent figures are finely set on a blue or green background, his very favourite hue. Striking is his absolute eye for the detailed modelling of his figures in a very delicate and lively way. Jean-Baptiste Stahl achieved mastery of the so-called ‘pates-sur-pates’ style in that his rather flat reliefs of his mature period demonstrate the three-dimensional illusion most prominently. Jean-Baptiste Stahl exploring the variation of the translucency of the white porcelain, in a manner comparable to that of painters, simulated light, depth and plasticity by varying the brightness of the colours. Only a fraction of his original works, were rescued post war, from the debris of the Villeroy & Boch factory building, by his grandson Erich Stahl, who was only an infant when Jean-Baptiste Stahl died. All of Jean-Baptiste Stahl’s work was solely from his lifetime employment at Villeroy & Boch in Mettlach, Saarland.

Statue of Khafre JE 10062

The king is sitting on a lion-legged throne. He wears the nemes-headdress, with a uraeus at the forehead, a false beard and a short kilt. His left arm is placed on his left knee, while his right hand is on his right knee, clasped around a folded cloth a symbol of authority. On each side of the throne can be seen the sema-tawy motif representing the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt. Although the statue looks to be of one person King Khafre it is, in fact, a triad. The king is Osiris in death, while the falcon at the back of his head is Horus; the throne upon which the king sits is the hieroglyphic symbol for Isis. Diorite, 4th Dynasty, Old Kingdom, Khafre’s Valley Temple, Giza. Ground floor, room 42, JE 10062 - CG 14-CEM 090608-018, Egyptian Museum, Cairo.

A Sphinx is a mythical creature with the head of a human and the body of a lion. In Greek tradition, it has the head of a human, the haunches of a lion, and sometimes the wings of a bird. The largest and most famous is the Great Sphinx of Giza, adjacent to the pyramids on the west bank of the Nile, facing east. Although the date of construction is uncertain, its head now is believed to be that of the pharaoh Khafra.
