Description
This bust is all that was preserved of the standing statue of Sheikh el-Balad's wife, which was found at the entrance to Ka-aper's chapel in his large mastaba at Saqqara. The statue was originally covered with plaster and painted. The woman wears a wide-spreading wig which covers her ears. This kind of wig ends in small curls and is parted in the center. The long, tight-fitting robe is supported by two wide straps sculptured in low relief. A broad collar was originally painted around her neck.

Ce buste est tout ce qui reste de la statue en position debout représentant la femme de Sheikh el-Balad retrouvée à l'entrée de la chapelle de Ka-aper. Cette chapelle se trouvait dans le grand mastaba situé à Saqqarah. A l'origine, cette statue était plâtrée et peinte. L'épouse de Sheikh el-Balad est coiffée d'une large perruque qui recouvre ses oreilles. Ce type de perruque se termine par de petites boucles et a une raie au milieu. La longue robe moulante est soutenue par deux bretelles sculptées en bas relief. A l'origine, son cou était orné d'un large collier.
هذا التمثال النصفي، هو كل ما أمكن العثور عليه من أصل التمثال، الذي يمثل هذه المرأة، وهي واقفة. وتم العثور عليه عند مدخل مقصورة كاعبر، في مصطبته الكبيرة في سقارة. وكان التمثال مغطى في الأصل بالجبس الملون. السيدة ترتدي شعراً مستعاراً مفروقاً من منتصف الرأس، وينتهي في شكل خصل صغيرة، أما عن الرداء الطويل المشدود، فهو مثبت بحمالات عريضة محفورة، وكان هناك عقد ملون حول الرقبة.
