Egypt Lapis lazuli woman (detail)

Summary edit

Description
English: Lapis lazuli woman. Egypt's closest known source of lapis lazuli is Afghanistan, and the material was therefore highly-prized. The head and body of this statuette were made separately and pegged together. The eyes are hollowed for inlay. The figure's short tightly-curled hair and the position of her hands and arms are unparalleled in Predynastic art. These unique features may suggest that the piece is not of Egyptian origin. From the Temple Enclosure at Hierakonpolis, Late Predynastic - Early Dynastic (about 3300-3000 BC). Egyptian Research Account excavations (body) and given by Harold Jones (head). AN1896-1908 E.1057, E.1057A (Ashmolean)
