Head of an official
Late Period–Early Ptolemaic Period
Not on view
Although the size of this head testifies to a very small statue, its commissioner was able to acquire a fine dense quartzite stone. The head shows no evidence of adjacent horizontal surfaces such as one would expect with a block statue, so it was most probably part of a small striding statue, and could also have held a divine figure or a naos.
