Description
GlobalEgMus web page: Statuette of a cook
The statuette represents a squatting man with his right arm lowered and his left arm outstretched. He wears a knee-long garment and no wig. The body is painted yellow, the garment is white, the hair, eyelids and pupils are black. The statuette may be an image of a man cooking - in the right hand he could hold a goose as reconstructed here and in the left hand a fan for blowing the fire.
