Description
A decorative tabletop bust crafted in the Ancient Egyptian revival style, depicting a royal figure, likely modeled after Tutankhamun. The piece is constructed from cast resin with a polychrome finish, featuring a gold-toned face and neck set against a deep blue nemes headdress and wesekh collar. The collar is detailed with concentric bands of gold, turquoise, and terracotta red. A protective uraeus cobra is positioned centrally on the brow of the headdress. A single braided lock of hair or decorative element extends down the right side of the chest. The underside of the base features a partial white adhesive paper label with a black barcode. The printed text on the label includes a partial line reading TEM # and another reading MADE, with the number 021 visible in a reverse orientation. The specific manufacturer name and full item number are not legible due to the damage to the label.
Condition report:
