The Global Egyptian Museum

Inlay element shaped like the silhouette of a male figure. The body has been cut out using using a saw (beginning of the arms, thinning of the torso). There are holes pierced across the edge at the level of the arm and near the bottom of the figure; these allowed limbs to be attached or a string to be strung. Another hole, this time in the middle of the belly, served to accomodate the phallus (?). The head and shoulders have been carved in the round. The shape of the cranium and the nose are indicated.

Élément d'incrustation représentant la silhouette de personnage masculin. Le corps est découpé par sciage (départ de bras, rétrécissement du torse). Sur la tranche, un trou traversant à hauteur des bras et un autre vers le bas de la figurine permettaient la fixation des membres ou le passage d'une cordelette. De face, un trou au milieu du ventre, traversant lui aussi, destiné à recevoir le sexe (?). Les épaules et la tête sont traitées en ronde bosse. La forme du crâne et le nez sont indiqués.
