Description
Egypt, Middle Kingdom, Dynasty 11-13 (2008-1630 BC). A rarely found artifact, in unusually intact condition, but as in most cases, having lost the 'hair' which had been attached with pitch. There is debate as to whether these were children's dolls or used in performances by troupes of dancers. A striking little piece of sculpture. Acquired by the Newark Museum apparently in 1959. Display board consistent with this date. An exceedingly rare find.
Ex: Newark Museum; Museum No. X59.102, evidently acquired in 1959..
