This piece is remarkable for its fidelity to Egyptian |
|
models, fine execution, well-preserved color as well as |
|
the articulation of the back. The figure wears and |
|
Egyptian kilt, or shenti, and wig. Although Egypt |
|
controlled Cyprus for part of the sixth century, the |
|
Phoenicians had introduced Egyptian features considerably |
|
earlier. |
