Bust Of Male Statue
3rd intermediate period to late period, 25-26 dynasties, 670-610 BCE
Probably from the area around Memphis, Lower Egypt
This bust can be dated by the smooth double wig the Kushite told(the facial ‘smile’ line from the nose to the mouth) the broad nose and the extremely muscular neck. The absence of back pillar and the slight inclination of the upper body suggest that the bust was once part of scribe’s statue.
