'Old Kingdom art: Rare Egyptian sculpture puts a human face on a remote civilization' is the original title, but too long.

Beautiful but the cost was staggering.

The bronze statue of Nefertiti that I picked up in Cairo in the early '60's will do just fine for me. They've priced me out of the market, lol.

FROM AN EGYPTIAN TOMB: This limestone sculpture, 'Group Statue of Ka-nefer and His Family,' dates to the Fifth Dynasty. KIMBELL ART MUSEUM

"Seen in a photograph, this sculpture might be thought gigantic. But it's just 14 inches high. Potts says that a statue of this size is, however, quite normal: "Quality is more important than size. In fact some of the larger sculptures can be rather crude in comparison."

Interesting. I would have thought it's bigger also. But I have also seen large Egyptian statues with a lot of fine detail, not crude in the least.
