Egypt, Late Period, 716-30 BC. A very rare depiction of possibly the Goddess "Unut". With human body and hare's head, Unut was taken into the cult of Horus and later Ra. We could not find a comparable example of this figure. With custom base.

3.5" (9 cm) without base.

Provenance: The John J. Slocum Collection Mr. Slocum (1914-1997) collected most of his antiquities while serving as US cultural attache to Egypt in the 1960s. Later, he served as Assistant to the Director of The Smithsonian, was appointed by President Reagan to the Presidential Cultural Property Advisory Committee, and was a Trustee Emeritus of the Archaeological Institute of America. He was a well-respected scholar/collector, whose medieval crusader coins were sold in a single-owner sale at Sotheby’s, London in 1997.

Good, as shown.
