Fragmentary Statuette of a Man
Description
Object Label: Unlike most faience statuettes from this period that were made as funerary figurines, this rare example represents an individual. The deep blue glaze, imitating the imported semiprecious stone called lapis lazuli, might have been used to indicate that the subject was a foreigner. Caption: Fragmentary Statuette of a Man, ca. 1479–1390 B.C.E.. Faience, 2 1/8 × 1 1/2 × 7/8 in. (5.4 × 3.8 × 2.2 cm). Brooklyn Museum, Charles Edwin Wilbour Fund, 37.334E. (Photo: Brooklyn Museum)
