Fragmentary Statuette of a Man
ca. 1479-1390 B.C.E.
Maker Unknown
Egyptian, Classical, Ancient Near Eastern Art
Unlike most faience statuettes from this period that were made as funerary figurines, this rare example represents an individual. The deep blue glaze, imitating the imported semiprecious stone called lapis lazuli, might have been used to indicate that the subject was a foreigner.
