Description | |
GlobalEgMus web page: Statuette of a ploughman The statuette represents a striding, slightly bent man with his left leg put forward. The arms attached by pegs are lowered. The man wears a short kilt, his hair is short-cropped. The body is painted red, the whites and the kilt are white, hair, the eyelids and pupils are black. The proportions of the statuette are overelongated. The posture of the bent man allows to interpret the statuette as that representing a ploughman and being an element of a model scene. Height= 19 (cm) Note For parallels see J.H.Breasted, Egyptian Servant Statues. Washington, 1948, pl.2-3. Preservation: The left arm is lost as are the feet originally made separately. The surface is weathered and cracked, the pigments are partly lost. | |
