Ancient Egyptian Turning Ring 3D model

An Egyptian Turning Ring of gold and jasper commonly used in the veneration of the ancient egyptian gods.

This model is a replica of an ancient artifact on display at the Walter’s art museum which comes from the ancient Egyptian “Late Period” (estimated to have been made sometime between 664 and 322 BC.) It is very probably from the Amarna region given it’s inscriptions.

On the one side the ring shows the usual depiction of Ptah (p-t-h) in a temple which is verified by the hieroglyphic inscription of his name in front of him (the long bar below taken to be the usual logogram glyph indicating that this is a name or noun.) On the other side is a somewhat stylized inscription of Amun-Re (i-m-n-re). Below the hieroglyph of Amun-Re are two characters which seem to be used as phonemes in order to get whole words on the small piece of material.

Here the ring has been faithfully recreated in multiple modeling formats including MAX, FBX, OBJ and 3DS. This model also includes a basic reflection map in ZIP format.
