Description: Solid bronze work of a kneeling pharaoh (possibly Necho II), his arms lowered, bent at the elbows and projecting forward above gently sloping thighs. His hands with the palms turned in, once holding a now-missing offering. The upper body with broad shoulders, the waist slender with a drop-shaped navel. The pharaoh wears a false beard, the Nemes with Uraeus as well as a belted, long and vertically stripped kilt with a central tab. In front of the splayed toes a stud where the statuette was inserted in its original base. High quality bronze work with numerous details. Mounted.
