Hand-carved Egyptian Alabaster statue.
The Egyptian block statues first emerged in the Middle Kingdom of Egypt, and were commonly used in temples as funerary monuments for important individuals. The simple shape of the statues provided flat surfaces for inscriptions of offerings and invocations. Egyptian block statues provide insight into the individuals they represent and the religious and funerary practices of ancient Egypt, as they were originally intended to be situated in tombs. Later, the statues could become a temple statue.
Carefully crafted by hand in the West Bank of Luxor, Egypt, this amazing authentic Egyptian statue is a stunning addition to any home!
Each statue is hand carved, and as such each piece is unique and will vary slightly based on the stone it was carved from.
