Description
This bust belonged to a standing figure, erected in a temple. The owner lived when native kings from Sais, a town in the western Nile Delta, ruled over a united Egypt. He remains unidentified, because his name and titled would have been inscribed on the lower half. The facial features, benign if somewhat bland, represent the artistic ideal of the late 26th Dynasty. This template was endlessly repeated in sculpture of later centuries.
An unusual prominence is given to the Adam's apple
