Head of a King

306-30 BCE or modern (Ptolemaic or modern) H: 12 in. (30.5 cm) Citation Source image

This sculpture of a king has a helmet with a uraeus. It is broken off at the neck; the head of the uraeus is also lacking. Otherwise, the piece is well preserved; however, it is probably a forgery.
