Available here for the first time is an interesting replica of a Ptolemaic period, sculptor's trial model.
'Practice makes perfect'...as the saying goes and the artists of this period have left many similar trial pieces for us to admire today. They strived to make their work good enough to be considered for the sacred decoration on a state temple or tomb wall.
This piece was carved in raised relief which allows the background to sink away leaving the image proud above the surface.
A rare and delightful study piece to add to your collection, especially if you like owls.
