Face from a composite statue of king Den

Because ancient wood rarely survives, very little large-scale wooden sculpture remains from any period in Egyptian history. Thus, this remarkably well-preserved face from such an early date is unparalleled. The concave, masklike face was probably attached to a core made of a different material, possibly a less valuable type of wood. The eyes and eyebrows, now missing, were once inlaid with crystal or stone, which would have given the face a lifelike appearance.

Wood, from Abydos. Early Dynastic Period, 1st Dynasty, ca. 3150-2890 BC. Now in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
