Abstract

Recurrent among the New Kingdom iconography the arm-shaped censers appeared during the Middle Kingdom and, after the hiatus of the Second Intermediate Period, reappeared modeled by a solar symbology what gave them a new while they adopted for daily cult on Egyptian temples. Based on the study of archaeological sources I propose to understand the context of the arm-shaped censers emergence, its symbolism and meaning for the ancient Egyptian Religion.
