Description from the seller
An Egyptian schist fragment, depicting a seated deity with a long Nemes and knees closed to the chest.
This is similar to the cube statues introduced during the New Kingdom era.

Provenance: Property of a London gallery; previously in a collection of a North London gentleman; formerly in a collection of Mrs B. Ellison, a deceased former member of the Egyptian Exploration Fund, bought from the 1940s, Cairo and London.
