Estátua de um homem em posição de marcha

Old Kingdom
ca. 2575–2465 B.C.
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 100
Esta vigorosa figura masculina, criada para a tumba de um importante personagem no sul do Egito, tem ombros largos, quadril estreito e extremidades musculosas de um atleta. Nota-se o tamanho grande das mãos e dos pés. A postura canônica, com um pé para frente em posição de marcha, é interpretada de forma quase agressiva. A boca larga sob o bigode fino é definida com ar de determinação. Os profundos sulcos de ambos os lados do nariz conferem individualidade, própria de um homem da era das pirâmides.
