Statuette of a Nude Woman

Unknown

ca. 2030–1650 BC · Wood, paint, paste · Egyptian Art

This statuette represents a nude woman with a short wig who stands with arms at her sides and hands outstretched. It has been inserted into a modern base. The rather crude statuette was made for a lower-level member of Egyptian society, who was nevertheless able to commission a quite modest tomb sculpture.
