For a similar example see Sotheby's, New York, 13 June 1996, lot 23 [US $100,000.00-150,000.00], accompanied by a copy of the relevant catalogue pages, Von Zabern, P., Antiquities from the Collection of Christos G. Bastis, New York, 1987, pp.33-34, no.9.1.4 kg total, 18cm including stand (7). From the collection of a respected UK gentleman, acquired in the early 1980s, this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by IADAA certificate number no.01042020/1257. The head is tubular in form with remains of a flange to the inner edge, perhaps to accept a hairpiece or Hedjet crown. The chin is provided with a small socket, probably for attachment of a plaited false beard as was customarily shown on depictions of royalty and divinities in contemporary Egyptian art.
