{"product_id":"the-naos-of-amasis-von-marco-zecchi-1","title":"The naos of Amasis","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe naos AM 107 of the Museum of Antiquities in Leiden was made by order of king Amasis in the 6th century BC, a period that saw an intense production of monolithic shrines. Despite its unimpressive dimensions, the naos of Leiden stands out for its originality. What is particularly interesting about this monument is that its distinctiveness is strictly connected to the nature of its recipient. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Amasis dedicated the naos to Osiris Hemag, one of the most important and enigmatic Osirian forms of the first millennium BC. Osiris Hemag represents Osiris at a crucial moment of his existence: his reawakening. It was precisely this aspect of the god that strongly influenced both the shape and the decoration of the naos, creating a unique effect. Indeed, this is the only Egyptian naos showing on its surfaces groups of guardian-deities who had the task to protect the body of Osiris and to assist him in his rebirth and rejuvenation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This naos is not only a shrine housing a statue of Osiris Hemag, but also a monument conveying a new definition of the god and new ideas concerning his rebirth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e PREFACE\u003cbr\u003eLIST OF FIGURES\u003cbr\u003eABBREVIATIONS\u003cbr\u003eBIBLIOGRAPHY \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I    NAOS AM 107: FROM EGYPT TO LEIDEN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e II   DESCRIPTION OF THE NAOS\u003cbr\u003e1.
