This is the rating and price for Naturalistic Egyptian Left Foot - Wood W/ Gesso

The piece has a sandal strap, with a dowel at the back where it was once connected to the larger statue. This foot was likely part of an anthropoid coffin, made from wood because it was more pliable to carve and could be made to look more naturalistic.
