Head and Bust of a Man
(Ancient Egypt and Nubia )
This sculpture of a male figure is probably a forgery, imitating the style of the 18th Dynasty. The man has a chin beard and collars, in addition to lines below his breasts. His flesh is yellow and his irises red. The piece is broken above the waist. The authenticity of this piece has been questioned.
