Description
A handsome statue of an Ibis. Made from multiple materials, it has a wooden body, which has been gessoed and gold gilt with a bronze tail section, with detailed feathers. The feet are of bronze, with incised claws and scales, and the head is also of bronze, with a slender, well defined beak and eyes of inlaid paste. Quite an impressive example with only some minor restoration to the body area. A careful cleaning of the bronze areas would reveal more details. Mounted on a large, custom stand. Kushite Period, XXVth Dynasty, 760 - 656 BC. L: 21", H: 9 ½". Similar examples have sold at Sotheby's for over 20,000.
