[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sahel (Siptah): [QB] Here are some: Reserve Head of a Man. (Prince?) Giza; Fourth Dynasty, probably reign of Khufu (ca. 2551–2528 B.C.E.). [IMG]http://zoom.mfa.org/fif=sc1/sc197486.fpx&obj=iip,1.0&wid=568&cell=568,427&cvt=jpeg[/IMG] From Giza, tomb G 4440 This one was originally identified as the Nubian/Negroid wife of the tomb owner. Recent study, however, suggests that it probably represents the male owner of the tomb. Although the face has affinities with later depictions of Nubians, it also bears a striking resemblance to statues of Fourth Dynasty kings and undoubtedly represents an Egyptian. The variations among reserve heads probably reflect the diversity in Egypt's population. - Metmuseum Reserve head of an official? wife?
