EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze statuette of a boy in Eastern dress, dating back to the mid-late 1st century BC, is a remarkable piece from the Egyptian Ptolemaic Period. Standing at an impressive height of 63.8 cm, this exquisite artwork can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The statuette showcases intricate details and craftsmanship that reflect the influences of Greek Late Hellenistic, Ptolemaic or Roman Early Imperial periods. The boy is dressed in a costume reminiscent of Hellenistic borders, which suggests he may represent various figures such as Attis, Armenia Major and Armenia Minor, or even Alexander Helios – son of Mark Antony and Cleopatra. With its origins traced back to Egypt but showcasing elements from different cultures across Africa and the Middle East, this sculpture serves as a testament to the interconnectedness and cultural exchange during ancient times. Its metalwork adds an extra layer of sophistication to this already stunning piece.
