Statue of the Steward Au

Middle Kingdom

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 110

This statue is shaped according to the same royal prototype that was followed in another statue from the same site, see 33.1.2a–c. The style of the carving in the Au statue is somewhat more angular than in the other—only partly preserved—piece. We are, however, certainly seeing two sculptures created by the same workshop.
