| Description | UET VII: "Fragment of a statuette in grey steatite; part of male figure wearing the kaunakes with the upper part of the body left bare; the hands clasped over the breast. Preserved is one half of the torso, cut vertically, right side and arm, from just below the shoulder to the hip; ht 0.022m. Fine work, perhaps of the Third Dynasty. The figure has been deliberately broken; it would seem to have been an old figure of which the material was being re-used, probably by a maker of cylinder seals. From Digdiggah." |
