Unfinished Statue of a Man

Egyptian (Artist)

ca. 525-340 BCE (Late Period)

granodiorite
(Ancient Egypt and Nubia )

The top of a wrap-around garment is seen on this unfinished work. It may have been intended as a royal statue, then altered for a private owner, which would explain the chiseled area on the forehead where the uraeus serpent, a symbol of royalty, may have been.
