Description: | Fragment of a solid plaster figure, the head and lower section are missing. The figure is female, probably a queen. Her right hand rests on her hip; the left arm has worn away. The subject wears a chiton and himation which is knotted at the right shoulder. It should be noted that the right arm and torso could be that of a male, but the heavy folds of drapery seem more appropriate for a female (cf. the Sarapieion Group, Lauer 1955) for cloaked male figures). There is a drill hole at the upper mid back, which may be modern. | 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 |
