[QUOTE]Originally posted by Just call me Jari: [QB] Good finds Apoco!! [IMG]http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/images/objects/size3/51.1_view2_SL1.jpg[/IMG] Metjetji, the subject of this statue, is shown in later life, with the long kilt of a senior official and, as viewed from the side, a rather flabby torso. The expensive addition of inlaid stone eyes with copper rims suggests that this one was considered the most important of Metjetji's statues. A large head, big eyes, and very long fingers often appear on statues of this time; here they seem to suggest wisdom and maturity. * Medium: Wood, gessoed and painted; alabaster, obsidian, copper * Possible Place Collected: Saqqara, Egypt * Dates: ca. 2371-2288 B.C.E. * Dynasty: late V Dynasty-early VI Dynasty * Period: Old Kingdom [/QB][/QUOTE]
