Male Figure Standing
(Ancient Egypt and Nubia )
The hair of this male figure is in rows of triangles. His eyebrows are in low relief. Both hands are clinched at this sides. He wears a kilt, not plaited and white. This piece is broken at the knees. The head and right hand are also broken off, but have been re-attached. The authenticity of this piece is doubtful. The head is certainly modern.
