AN EGYPTIAN BRONZE KNEELING PHARAOH
LATE PERIOD, DYNASTY XXVI, 664-525 B.C.
Perhaps Necho II, solid cast, depicted kneeling with his knees together, his feet separated, the toes splayed, his arms lowered, bent at the elbows and projecting forward above the angled thighs, his hands with the palms turned in, the fingers gently curved, perhaps once holding a now-missing offering, his well-modelled torso with broad shoulders, a slender waist and a drop-shaped navel, wearing a belted, pleated kilt with a central tab and a striped nemes-headcloth fronted by a uraeus, his face with incised eyes, cosmetic lines and brows, sporting a long chin-beard with horizontal striations, his ears prominent, with rectangular tenons below the knees and the feet
5 in. (12.7 cm.) high excluding tenons
