Description: | Pink terracotta head, egg-shaped, of a man with shaved head. Long, pointed face, with sunken eyes, long nose with flaring nostrils, lips apart in frown. Large hole on each side by the ears. Traces of black paint on back of head. Petrie identified this as a 'Sumerian' facial type, but it is late first millennium BC and the type seems closer to regular Egyptian Hellenistic production (the part-open mouth being the Hellenising feature). | 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 |
