Summary edit
| Description |
 English: Limestone head of a bearded man with close-cropped hair arranged in tight curls. The eyes are recessed for inlay.
From the 'Main Deposit' at Hierokonpolis E. 294 Bibliography: J. E. Quibell, "Hierakonpolis Part I. Plates of Discoveries in 1898" (Bernard Quaritch, London. 1900) Pg. 6 "PLS. V-VI, Dyn. 0. The great mass of objects found together, which are throughout these plates marked as MAIN DEPOSIT, include carvings of Narmer, ... and of the Scorpion King ... Hence it must be attributed to the time immediately before Mena. The limestone head (figs. 1,2,3) represents the mixed Negro-Libyan type; the short half-curly hair, and the thick projecting lips clearly come from the negro; while the long face and well-formed nose are due to Libyan blood." PL. V & PL. VI |
