Statue of Nespaqashuty, Son of Nespamedou
In this well modeled and polished statue, the vizier Nespaqashuty is depicted as a scribe. He is seated with crossed legs on the pedestal, but with neither a roll of papyrus nor a pen. He is wearing a shoulder length striped wig and a short kilt with a broad belt.
His face has a slim, oval shape. The lines of the nose and protruding cheekbones create a kind of a frame around the long, narrow eyes. The vizier has broad shoulders, a torso that curves toward a slim waist, and an unnatural breadth of hip.
From the Temple of Amun-Re, Karnak. Late Period, 26th Dynasty, reign of Apries, ca. 589-570 BC. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 36665
