Descripción : Wood Egypt, possibly Middle Kingdom, 11th to 12th Dynasty Standing stride statue of a king Contemporarily reworked upper part Dimensions: 21.2 x 3.1 x 2.3 cm(height x width x depth) Provenance: Private Collection Bruno Wertz Scientific research: Dr. Jan Moje, Free University of Berlin (see references below) See J. Harvey, Wooden statues of the Old Kingdom, Leiden 2001 (EM 2) for similar samples of private statues This statuette was made of wood and depicts a striding king of ancient Egypt. The piece most probably dates to the Middle Kingdom of Egypt, the 11 υ th to the 12 υ th Dynasty (2119-1794/93 BCE), but has partially been contemporarily reworked. The figure is wearing a Nemes headscarf, the striped headscarf of pharaohs in ancient Egypt. The cloth covered nape, top and back head. Two long flaps are hanging down behind the ears and down the shoulders. The Nemes figure is crowned by a Uraeus snake. Headscarf and face are of relatively rough workmanship. Face and body are of slim form and the king is wearing an engraved apron with pleated rim. The varying proportions of the face lead to the conclusion that this statuette is either not entirely antique or the upper part has been added to make it appear like a statuette of a king. The preserved condition of the king statuette is age-appropriately well. The arms and the left foot of the statue are missing. The feet have been broken off. The right foot is fixed on again. Glue marks remain visible on the rectangular basis, as well as on the arm roots. The wooden surface depicts some scratches and other traces on the surface. The dimensions, including the plinth, mount up to 21.2 x 3.1 x 2.3 cm(height x width x depth).
