Statuette of a Kushite King This statuette once depicted a
kneeling king holding a pot in each hand in offering to a god.
Although the style recalls statuettes of the Kushite king
Taharqa, the identification remains uncertain because the
sovereign's name has been erased from his belt. Either the
damage was done by agents of vengeful native Egyptian kings of
Dynasty XXVI, or the statuette may simply have been appropriated
by a later king. Traces of gilding remain on the head and the
kilt. - Medium: Bronze - Place Made: Egypt - Dates: ca. 712-653
