An interesting example of a hand painted Egyptian carved kneeling boatman from a funerary boat model, wearing a black cropped wig, red painted kilt, black facial features and a white painted body.
During this period; the wealthy Egyptian landowners and nobles would have groups of “Servant Models” representing different activities of daily life (boatman in a funerary boat being the most common of all) buried with them in their tombs.
Size: c. 9 cm. tall and 10 cm. incl. the strange old round base, also of wood.
Ex. private Collection of Jens Knudsen, Hamburg, 1980-1999.
