Ptolemaic Statue of a Man in the Walters Art Museum, September 2009
Upper Part of a Statue of a Man
Creator: Egyptian (Sculptor)
Period: 4th century BC (Late Period-early Greco-Roman)
Medium: greywacke (Sculpture)
Accession Number: 22.116
Measurements: 18 1/8 x 16 9/16 x 11 7/16 in. (46 x 42 x 29 cm)
Geographies: Egypt (Place of Origin)
Almost certainly a fragment of a life-size temple statue showing its owner reverently kneeling before his god, this figure is quite rare, perhaps even unique. The eyes and eyebrows were probably once inlaid with other materials, enhancing the liveliness of the facial features. The shaved head may indicate the owner's status as a cleric or high official.
