Bust of a Man
(Ancient Egypt and Nubia )
The end of the 25th Dynasty and the beginning of the 26th was a time of stylistic experimentation. Sculptors revived traditional forms, with modifications, and also created innovative decorations. The application to the chest of incised figures of the god Osiris lasted only until the end of the reign of King Psamtik I (610 BCE).
