Statuette of Khonsu

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Statuette of Khonsu depicts a bronze figure of an Egyptian deity. The statuette shows a male figure with a long, thin nose and a smooth face. He wears a short, curved headdress on his head with a long curl hanging down from the back. His body is wrapped in a shroud-like garment with his right shoulder exposed. He holds a staff in front of his body with both hands. The statuette has a greenish-brown patina and stands on a small square base. The background is a gradient from black at the top to gray at the bottom.
