This very fine fragment from a large statue is attributed to the pharaoh Ptolemy II, or perhaps Ptolemy III, or possibly to a high official of those reigns. Unlike portraits of the 30th dynasty pharaohs and early Ptolemaic royal portraits that continue in that vein, the face shows rounded eyes, fleshy cheeks over suppressed bone structure, a broad mouth, and a knobby chin, features that may reflect early influence of Hellenistic art on Egyptian. The face was excavated at Heliopolis.Free picture Face attributed to Ptolemy II Philadelphos or a contemporary integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
