digital description:
wall description:
Trial pieces—carved on limestone flakes, or ostraca—and sculptors' models allow us to see how the ancient Egyptian artist approached his work. Showing the profile of a king in relief, this piece is a masterpiece in its own right, and was probably meant to be copied.
