Seated Statue of Nykara

Cleveland Museum of Art

The statue depicts a seated figure with a light-colored stone, possibly granite, exhibiting a predominantly gray tone with darker speckles. The figure has a large head with long hair, a wide face, and a subtle, closed-mouth smile. The eyes are not detailed. The figure sits on a rectangular object that appears to be a throne or chair, with hands resting on the knees. The figure has no clothing and its feet are placed flat on the base. The base of the statue is rectangular and made of a lighter-colored material, possibly plaster or stone. The background of the image is dark gray, with a shadow cast by the statue to the right. The overall style and appearance of the statue suggest it is an ancient piece, likely from Egypt. The statue is titled "Seated Statue of Nykara".
