Egyptian - Bust of a Priest Wearing "Persian" Garment - Walters 2234

description

Summary

One of a small number of surviving busts, this was probably a model for a larger work. The garment resembles those worn by officials when Egypt was part of the Persian Empire. The facial features are remarkable for their naturalistic rendering of old age.
