Egyptian, Possibly Late Period to Roman Era.
A torso carved in stone, its head long lost. The form remains—intimate, adorned, unmistakably human. In ancient Egypt, adornment was never just decoration—it signified protection, status, and passage. Objects like this were often placed in tombs, carried forward as companions for the afterlife.
The surface is worn, soft-edged, shaped as much by time as by hand.
Material: Carved Egyptian marble or alabaster
Date: Possibly Late Period to Roman Egypt (~664 BCE–200 CE)
Size: Approx. 3.5”x 3.5×1.5
Function: Likely votive or symbolic bust, possibly funerary
Condition: Fragmentary but stable; surface beautifully worn
