Description
This ancient Coptic idol figure carved from whale bone hails from the Byzantine Egyptian era and measures 8 cm in height, 3.5 cm in width, and 1 cm in depth (approximately 3.15 x 1.38 x 0.39 inches). This artifact embodies the religious fervor and intricate artistry of the period. The figure's facial features are delicately rendered, conveying a serene expression typical of Byzantine ecclesiastical art. The diminutive stature of this piece suggests it may have been a personal devotional object, designed to be held or carried by its owner, offering a tangible connection to the spiritual practices of the time.
