Statuette of a Striding Man in a Kilt
Early Middle Kingdom
Not on view
This somewhat rough, but charming striding male figure has long, thin limbs and a disproportionally large head; he stands in his original, rectangular base, which preserves part of a painted inscription indicating his position as “royal chamberlain.” As a mid-level official he was able to commission a respectable artwork for his burial place or perhaps as a temple offering.
