Upper part of a standing figure at The British Museum, London by Scan The World

Description

The lack of inscription makes a precise dating for the statue very difficult. On stylistic grounds it is probably to be placed in the Saite Period (about 560 BC (?)). A peculiarity of the piece is the prominence given to the man's Adam's apple. The statue is made out of black granite which also can hint to the date of its creation.
