[QUOTE]Originally posted by Just call me Jari: [QB] [IMG]http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/images/objects/size3/CUR.47.120.3_detail_left.jpg[/IMG] Statuette of the Lady Mi Standing One of the finest wooden sculptures to survive from antiquity, this exquisitely carved figure of Lady Mi shows the elaborate wig and huge gold earrings worn by the great women of King Amunhotep's court. Both Amunhotep III and Queen Tiye allowed themselves to be represented as mature—rather than eternally youthful—individuals. Faithful courtiers followed the royal lead. The carver of this figure indicated the drooping breasts and sagging belly of an older woman beneath the gossamer linen of the dress. * Medium: Wood, gilded * Place Excavated: Medinet Ghurob, Egypt * Dates: ca. 1390-1353 B.C.E. * Dynasty: XVIII Dynasty * Period: New Kingdom * Dimensions: 6 3/16 x 1 3/4 x 2 1/4 in. (15.7 x 4.4 x 5.7 cm) Base: 3/4 in. (1.9 cm) [/QB][/QUOTE]
