[QUOTE]Originally posted by mena7: [QB] [IMG]http://art.thewalters.org/images/art/large/l_pl2_22410_fnt_bw-2.jpg[/IMG] Priest Tjaty This sculpture of a man is probably shop work. The man has his hands at his sides. There is an inscription on the front of his dress, and on a stele at back. The piece is broken at the ankles [IMG]http://art.thewalters.org/images/art/large/l_pl7_2223_fnt_bw-2.jpg[/IMG] Sesostris wears a short tripartite kilt and a curled wig. He has lost his traditional attributes-the staff in the left hand and the scepter in his right. The inscription on the base contains an offering formula that promises: "The king may guarantee offerings [to the god] Osiris [that he may give] mortuary offerings of bread, beer, oxen, fowl, and incense to Sesostris [IMG]http://art.thewalters.org/images/art/large/l_ps1_2228_fnt_dd_t09-2.jpg[/IMG] This figure has been carved in the round and painted. He has short hair, plain black. His arms are joined at the shoulders, his right hand is open, his left is clenched, with a hole. Hw has a white belt, tied at the front. There is a pin set into the front, above the belt. His left leg is broken at the knee, his right foot is made separately and is gone. There is a prong under his right heel, inset into the base [IMG]http://art.thewalters.org/images/art/large/l_pl2_22238_3qtr_bw-2.jpg[/IMG] This statuette of a standing male figure is jointed at the shoulders and at the bottom of the skirt. The man's hair is done with black dots on white. The foreparts of the feet are made separately. The man wears a white skirt. The paint is largellygone from the upper part of the body. The nails are white. The piece is on its original base. There is a wood pin through the base into a prong under each foot. The workmanship of the piece is good [/QB][/QUOTE]
