- Lot Description
Ancient Egypt, late New Kingdom period, 20th Dynasty, ca. 1189 to 1076 BCE. A fascinating figure of an elegant openwork form carved from a thin piece of wood that depicts a standing male, perhaps a pharaoh or a deity based on the chinstrap and false beard. The figure stands with a wide stance, holds one arm to the side of a pleated kilt, and wears a striated shirt beneath a broad collar pectoral. The right-facing countenance bears an almond-shaped eye with an elongated outer corner, a petite nose above thin lips, and a cupped ear, all beneath a black-painted tripartite wig with lengthy lappets which hang atop his chest. The wooden figure is first layered with thin linen which is covered with white gesso and ultimately painted with vibrant red, green, yellow, and black pigments. Size: 2.2" W x 8.3" H (5.6 cm x 21.1 cm); 9" H (22.9 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: ex-Westport Auction, Norwalk, Connecticut, USA (lot 102); ex-Charles Ede Ltd, London, England, UK, reference number 7716
