Description: Scale reproduction of the Head of a Nubian Man (Sculptor's Trial Piece?), c. 1353-1336 BCE, New Kingdom, Amarna Period, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection. Cast with a mold lifted directly from the original relief. RARE! Height: 4", Length: 3.5"; Depth: .75" The heightened expressiveness with which the sculptor depicted the ethnic features of a Nubian (a native of the areas south of Egypt) is characteristic of the art of Amarna. In particular, this work is reminiscent of the images of Nubians and West Asians found in Haremhab's tomb at Saqqara, which he built for himself while he was still the chief of Tutankhamun's army.
