Portrait of Hor-Wer
(Ancient Egypt and Nubia )
The elegance and lack of emotion in this statue's face characterize sculpture of the Ptolemaic Period. The inscription on the statue's back pillar records that Hor-wer was a member of the clergy and served three of the gods of the Theban area: Amen-re, Min, and Khonsu.
