Description: | Fragment of a terracotta figurine; only the head survives. The subject is male, bald and has exaggerated features. The back of the head is damaged or unfinished. the face is round and the cheeks are plump with small features possibly representing a dwarf. The head is tilted to the right which suggests movement and would accord with an identification of the piece as a dancing dwarf. there are traces of plaster around the mouth. Nile silt clay. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ | Rights holder: | University College London | Subjects: | Egyptology | Temporal: | name=Ptolemaic Period; start=-305; end=-30 | Source: | UCL Museums | Identifier: | http://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums/objects/LDU... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
