an
vintage plaster cast museum replica of an original
400 to 30 BC
Egyptian
bas-relief, limestone sculpture of a ram's head of a God figure.
The plaster cast reproduction is honest and a true replica of the ancient limestone original bas-relief flat sculpture. Not only is this an accurate facsimile of the archaic original, it also has tea'd plaster surfaces, which mimic the variegated off-white colors found in the natural limestone of the original. The fauna depicted isn't only a simple ram but a special ram's head of an
Egyptian
God figure,
revered by the ancient
Egyptians
and often captured in graphic iconography found sculpted into limestone columns, palatial stone wall art and inside the hidden tombs of
Pharaohs
and
Egyptian
royal court members. With simply gorgeous figuration, you too can have the grandeur and enigmatic beauty of the ancient
Egyptians
right in your own home. Terrific.
CONDITION:
Very Good to Excellent overall vintage condition. The bottom left corner of the cast plaster bas-relief sculpture panel has what appears to be an old crack occurring on that corner. It was previously glued and mended some time ago. No attempt has been made to try and hide this or to remedy it.
