Thank you Marie-claire

Considering it dates from around 650BC, it is certainly a skill to be admired!

Thank you Steve

I did eventually find some information on it in the museum catalogue, now added above. However a good old book from the library contains a lot more background to the time and the sculpture.. 25th Dynasty, around 650BC. I'm sure we remember it well.

My dear Füsun,

thank you so much!
I am happy that you like it. As I said to Steve, I did eventually find some good information in a book by Marjorie Caygill, plus the link above.

Love Peter

Hi Rosa,
Thank you very much!
I'm happy that you had a good look!!
I always find museums difficult, especially when the exhibit is in a glass case (like this one is).
I am very happy that you appreciated my efforts!

Best Wishes, and a Good Weekend,
Peter
