Description
	GlobalEgMus web page: Statuette of an overseer The statuette being an element of a scene represents a striding man. The lowered arms are attached by pegs; the right hand might originally hold a stick. The man has short-cropped hair and wears a knee-long kilt. The body is painted red, the whites and garment are white, hair, eyebrows, eyelids and pupils are black. The treatment of hair, garment and the presence of a stick allow for the interpretation of the statuette as that representing a kind of overseer. Height= 16 (cm) Note For parallels see H.E.Winlock, Models of Daily Life of Ancient Egypt from the tomb of Meket-Re at Thebes. Cambridge (Mass.), 1955, pl.16, 21. Provenance: According to Vandier (Manuel III, p.228) the posture is characteristic of provincial statuary. Preservation: The left leg below the knee, the right foot and the attributes are lost. The surface is damaged, pigments are partly lost.
