Catalogue Note
Small busts like this were made as fittings and amulets across the Egyptian and Hellenistic world. The face is modelled with care for so small a thing, the headdress and a broad collar framing it.
It stands on a black block about the size of a matchbox, which makes it one of the more easily placed pieces in the collection.
