Reclining Wooden Figure of an Antelope-headed Deity
Wooden figure of a gazelle-headed guardian demon: overlain with plastered linen. The contorted pose of this creature, who sits with its lower half in profile and upper body turned toward the viewer, is eerily menacing, as if the monster were ponderously swinging around to confront an interloper. A divine wig has been used to mask the juncture between animal and human.
New Kingdom, late 18th Dynasty, reign of Horemheb, ca. 1319-1292 BC. Now in the British Museum. EA 50703
