‘People in ancient Egypt wanted to remain eternal, to leave a trace,’ says Laetitia Delaloye, our Antiquities specialist in London, of this remarkable female figure from 2500–2055 B.C.
.
Members of the elite ‘frequently had themselves represented in wood or stone,’ explains Delaloye, ‘and the statues would be placed in their tombs as receptacles for the soul.’
.
For our specialist, wooden artefacts are among the most fascinating objects from ancient Egypt. Thanks in part to the dry climate, this sculpture has survived for some 4,000 years.
