Description from the seller
➜ This finely crafted sculpture represents the head of Pharaoh Seti I, one of the most powerful rulers of Egypt’s New Kingdom. Executed in granite, the piece reflects classic royal iconography: a calm, idealised facial expression, almond-shaped eyes, and a carefully incised striated headdress associated with royal authority and eternal order.
The dense granite material gives the sculpture a substantial, authentic presence, while the surface shows natural variations and textural grain consistent with stone workmanship. A small aperture on the reverse suggests it may have been designed for mounting or architectural display, adding historical character and versatility.
➜ Why You’ll Love It:
• Representation of Pharaoh Seti I, a major New Kingdom ruler
• Hand crafted from solid granite with natural stone texture
• Refined facial features and detailed royal headdress
• Strong visual presence despite compact proportions
• Ideal for collectors, décor, or historical display settings

Granite royal heads are always highly sought after for their timeless presence and museum quality appeal. A distinctive piece like this rarely stays available for long secure it now before it’s gone.
➜ Height: 10.5 cm
➜ Width: 7 cm
➜ Weight: 435 gram
➜ Object: Egyptian Statue
➜ Material: Granite
➜ Origin: Egypt
