Statue of Sheikh el-Balad's Wife

Statue of Sheikh el-Balad's Wife
This bust is all that was preserved of the standing statue of Sheikh el-Balad's wife, which was found at the entrance to Ka-aper's chapel in his large mastaba at Saqqara.
The statue was originally covered with plaster and painted.
...
The woman wears a wide-spreading wig which covers her ears. This kind of wig ends in small curls and is parted in the center. The long, tight-fitting robe is supported by two wide straps sculptured in low relief. A broad collar was originally painted around her neck.
