Exceptional small handcrafted figurine from Egypt, made with a wooden core meticulously wrapped in original ancient rope. The deep, time-worn patina, darkened surface and rich accumulation of material in the rope crevices reflect centuries of natural aging, consistent with an age of over one thousand years.
A rare and evocative piece with strong primitive presence. Perfect for collectors of early Egyptian artifacts, medieval folk objects or historical pieces with authentic age and character.
Provinance: Formerly in a European private collection, purchased mid 20th century on the Austrian antiques market. The object has been in Europe for several decades, last owner antiques dealer of Vienna, Sir A. Elnady.
