Bust of a male statue. Wooden Sculpture; 2475 BCE, Old Kingdom (5th dynasty). It is assumed that this statue of a young man represented the priest Ka-aper in his youth. However this assumption still lacks firm archeological proof. Nevertheless, the statue shows skill and artistic charm. The realistic face is that of a young man, as is the tall slim body, simply and elegantly sculptured. It was originally plastered and painted. The inlaid eyes, and slightly asymmetrical face with the serious mouth and rather haughty bearing, give the portrait a very lively character. JE 10177

Pharaoh Amenophis III (1391-1353 BCE) in chariot wearing a crown with the uraeus cobra.
