statue

Under Amenhotep III, 1388–1349 BCE, an Egyptian sculptor carved the standing wooden man now at the Louvre in Paris. He wears a short-sleeved shirt, a projecting kilt and a curled wig, with both arms hanging down. Black paint survives, but the feet are lost. The figure measures 30.5 centimetres high; its base is acacia wood. It can be seen in room 637.
