Egyptian Middle Kingdom Wood & Gesso Striding Figure

Item Details

Description

Ancient Egypt, Middle Kingdom, 11th to 13th Dynasty, ca. 2130 to 1649 BCE. A wonderful example of a hand-carved wooden male figure, perhaps a servant in a tomb scene depicting events from everyday life in ancient Egypt. The man stands in a striding pose with delineated legs and plug-shaped feet meant to fit within drilled mortises, wears a short skirt indicated by the solid, smooth lower abdomen, has bulging pectoral muscles beneath sloped shoulders, and slender arms draped to his sides. His head stares forward with incised, almond-shaped eyes and has a drop-form nose, thin lips, a tapered mandible, and perky ears beneath a black coiffure. Traces of white gesso visible across the upper body and head are painted with tan-hued pigment indicative of flesh and black to color the hair. Wooden sculptures like this are incredibly rare in this state of preservation and are fascinating examples illustrating life in ancient Egypt. Size: 2.5" W x 9.625" H (6.4 cm x 24.4 cm); 10.3" H (26.2 cm) on included custom stand.

A stylistically similar example, of a larger size and standing atop a wooden plinth, hammered for GBP 18,750 ($24,711) at Christie's, London, South Kensington "Antiquities" auction (sale 6060, April 14, 2011, lot 23).

Provenance: private London, England, U.K. collection, acquired in May 2020; ex-Artemis Gallery; ex-private Chicago, Illinois, USA collection; ex-Helios Gallery, Wiltshire, U.K.; ex-private Dorset, U.K. collection, acquired in the late 19th or early 20th century CE
