An Egyptian Granitic Statue of a Sitting Figure with Animal Features, Possibly Ancient.
This finely carved Egyptian statue, made from dense granite, portrays a seated figure with animal-like features. The figure is depicted in a seated position, likely representative of a god or divine entity. The animal features, such as the head resembling that of a lion or another feline creature, may point to its symbolic association with strength and power, common in Egyptian iconography. The statue's robust craftsmanship and detailed form suggest it was created for religious or ceremonial purposes, aligning with the ancient Egyptian tradition of depicting deities and powerful figures in stone.
H: Approximately 5.5cm
Provenance: Private W London Collection
