The subject has waves of hair falling from a central parting. On the lower sesction of the chariot is a wheel with heart-shaped decoration on the back. At the front is a nozzle, now damaged; although this could not have functioned as a lamp because the bottom is open. Possibly a caricature of Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ | Rights holder: | University College London | Subjects: | Egyptology | Temporal: | name=Middle Ptolemaic Period; start=-203; end=-117 | Source: | UCL Museums | Identifier: | http://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums/objects/LDU... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
