An Official Called Ankh

Leiden, Rijksmuseum van Oudheden, June 2012

Compared to his namesake in the same room of the museum, this Ankh looks very archaic. The face is rendered schematically and the various parts of the body are not clearly defined. In all other respects, however, this statue is already representative for Egyptian private statuary for the next 2500 years.

AST 19. Old Kingdom, 3rd Dynasty (27th century BCE). From Abydos or Sakkara. Granite. H. 62 cm.
