BACKGROUND
This beautiful bust of an Egyptian Pharaoh is a testimony to the skill and artistry of an ancient sculpture. Carved from scarce red granite, this bust was probably placed in a tomb of a high functionary to give the deceased greater stature in the afterlife. The the royal head cloth, or nemes, surmounted by the royal cobra, uraeus, identifies this as a Pharaoh. The stone bridge under the chin was originally used to support a false beard. The calm, regal features remind us that he was looked on as a god. Even in the Ptolemaic era Pharaohs still retained their divine right. Cleopatra was the last of the Ptolemies. 

Egyptians believed that close association with even a bust of their god-king would protect them, enhance their position, and make life easier.  This exact duplicate of the beautifully carved original serves as an exquisite example of Egyptian art and allows you too to make friends with a Pharaoh - who knows, it couldn't hurt!
