This is the rating and price for Egyptian Middle Kingdom Wood Striding Male Figure

Description : Ancient Egypt, Middle Kingdom, 11th to 13th Dynasty, ca. 2130 to 1649 BCE. A hand-carved, finely grained wooden male figure presented with slender feet delineated in a striding pose. The man wears a pleated skirt around his gently slanted waist and stands with an upright posture but with a slight hunch at the neck. The minimal countenance features impressed eyes that shape the bridge of the nose, an incised mouth curled into a slight smirk, and a bag-style coiffure draped to his shoulders. Traces of white pigment around the waist suggest this figure was at one time painted with vibrant colors, perhaps in imitation of the color of his white cotton kilt. Figures like this example were included in wooden tomb offerings depicting scenes from everyday life like sailing or making offerings. Size: 1.125 W x 5.9 H (2.9 cm x 15 cm), 6.4 H (16.3 cm) on included custom stand.
