Consulter la cote et le prix de Egyptian Wood Striding Male Moving Arm, Acquired 1930S, 2011

Description : Ancient Egypt, Middle Kingdom, 11th to 13th Dynasty, ca. 2130 to 1650 BCE. A hand-carved wooden male figure, perhaps once a servant figure in a tomb depicting scenes of everyday life in ancient Egypt. The man presents in a striding pose with his forward left leg extending the lower fringe of his shendyt, or kilt, forward as both lengthy arms extend down with fingers almost to his knees. Remains of black and white pigment are visible across the arms and body while white ovals flank the petite nose to form the enlarged eyes. Wooden sculptures like this are incredibly rare in this state of preservation and are fascinating examples illustrating life in ancient Egypt. Size: 2.5 W x 7.25 H (6.4 cm x 18.4 cm), 9.625 H (24.4 cm) on included custom stand.
