An Egyptian granite head with smooth facial features, a vigilant gaze, large ears. He is wearing a short ceremonial beard and a shoulder-length wig or striped headdress.

The small eyes, the piercing gaze and the slightly pursed mouth support a 13th dynasty dating. 8cm wide.

Ex Zürich collection.

Hard stone sculpture is very rare from the Middle Kingdom, and is highly sought out by collectors and museums alike.
