French Egyptian Revival Carved Wood Figure of King Tutankamun
A carved standing figure of King Tutankamun wearing the royal headdress topped by the double uraeus. This compelling carving depicts the slender boy king standing with arms crossed holding a crook and a flail. The worn surface of the piece and the cracks in the wood give it an ancient look, though it was probably carved soon after the famous excavation by Howard Carter in 1922. Good scale at 40 inches high. Circa 1925.
CONDITION DETAILS
There is a crack running most of the length of the carving. One head of the cobra headdress missing.
