Summary

[edit]
Description

https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/551559 Small Late Period and Ptolemaic reliefs or sculptures that depict a subject in a partial or unfinished way but are themselves finished objects constitute a special class of object. Guidelines like those for artists are often prominently exhibited as part of the object . . .

The reverse of this plaque, which measures H. 27.5 × W. 25.5 × D. 3 cm (10 13/16 × 10 1/16 × 1 3/16 in.), portrays a priest who may be Imhotep, and the incomplete figure to the left of Sobek may also be that priest. It was donated to the Met in 1908. I cropped the museum photo & adjusted levels.

Thanks to the Met Museum for the PD dedication, for this & thousands of other photos! A distinguished public service.
