Bust from a Seated Statue https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/3779
Dark grey granite bust of a seated man with striated and echeloned double wig, plastic eyebrows and plastic upper eyelid rims, double necklace, short sleeved over-garment, incised armlets, and on the right wrist a broad incised bracelet. The figure wears a pleated skirt with loop-fringed upped edge from which a double fold protrudes to the right of the navel. The back pillar bears two columns of inscription increasing to six columns on the back of the chair. On the front of the right shoulder there is an erased cartouche containing a name ending in “w’n-r” (Akhenaton or Amenhotep IV). A second erased cartouche on the right side of the chest is illegible. Inscription on the rear of the seat and back pillar. The identity of this owner is as yet not established. Possibly Parennufer, Ramose, Kheruef, Nebamun, Amenemhat, Surer or Huy. Condition: Broken across wrists just below angle between garment and torso. Nose mostly missing, ears damaged; chipped and scratched in numerous places. Upper right and left rear corners of seat missing. Surface discolored; brownish black in spots.

Block Statue of a High Official https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/3784
Black diorite statue inscribed for a man named Djehuty-nes. Djehuty-nes wears a plain, heavy wig, and a short beard. In each hand he holds the sign for life. His nose is fairly straight and his eyebrows are horizontal. Eyebrows, upper eyelid rims and cosmetic lines are executed in relief. Carved in sunk relief, in that portion of the robe which covered the front of the figure’s legs, is a frontal representation of a baboon crowned with a sun-disk supported by a half-moon. The figure rests upon a base which is rounded in the front. In the rear, a back pillar rises from the base up to the bottom edge of the wig. The back pillar is decorated with two columns of inscription, and a single line of inscription runs around the base. The hieroglyphs, which are only roughly pecked-out, are apparently unfinished. A fault or vein in the stone, appearing as a whitish line, runs around the figure passing through the head on the rear and left side. Condition: Large chips in the front of the base; smaller chips in the other sides of the base. Smaller chips here and there. The piece has been scratched, especially on the rear. Incrusted dirt here and there, mostly on the front of the figure.

Head of an Old Man https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/46713
Head of an old man. Probably of limestone. At the back runs the usual inscribed pillar. The entire piece was covered with a coating of elaborately painted plaster extensive traces of which remain behind the ears and on the pillar. The inscription reads “the King is making an offering to the double of ---.” The piece shows great naturalism, the surface is chipped and weathered.
