The head, believed to be from a king during Egypt's Late Period in Dynasty 26 (664-525 BCE), is carved out of black basalt stone with meticulous attention to detail. The close-up shot allows us to marvel at the intricate headdress adorning the regal figure, symbolizing his royal status and authority. The unknown artist skillfully captured the essence of this monarch, portraying him as a powerful and commanding ruler.

Its presence evokes a sense of awe and curiosity about one of history's most fascinating civilizations. As we gaze upon this enigmatic sculpture, we are transported back in time to an era when pharaohs reigned over Egypt with divine power. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed, their legacy endures through these remarkable statues. Through its timeless beauty and cultural significance, this head from a statuette invites viewers to appreciate not only its artistic merit but also the historical importance it holds within African and Middle Eastern cultures.
