Statuette of Amen-Ra

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Statuette of Amen-Ra depicts a bronze figurine of an ancient Egyptian deity. The statuette shows a male figure standing upright on two feet. The figure has a long, thin body with both arms at its sides, except the left arm which crosses over the body to touch the right shoulder. The face is stylized with a straight mouth and nose. The figure wears a short kilt around the waist. On the head, there is a large, tall headdress consisting of two vertical plates rising from a ball-like structure. The entire statuette has a dark patina. The background of the image gradually darkens from light gray at the bottom to black at the top.
