EDITORS COMMENTS
This statue represents the upper part of a male figure named Iker, hailing from Egypt's Middle Kingdom during the late 12th to early 11th dynasty, around 2000-1917 BC. The sculpture, crafted from limestone, showcases the artistic mastery of the ancient Egyptian civilization. Iker's torso is now a permanent exhibit at the esteemed Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, United States. Dating back to the Middle Empire period, this statue is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of ancient Egypt. The intricately carved details on Iker's chest reveal the influence of the pharaoh's regal attire, reflecting the cultural significance of royalty during this time. The serene expression on his face and the well-defined muscles in his chest and arms suggest a strong and powerful figure. The Middle Kingdom marked a period of political stability and cultural flourishing in ancient Egypt. Iker's statue, with its exquisite craftsmanship, is a reflection of the artistic achievements during this era. The statue's preservation and display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art allows modern audiences to connect with the history and culture of ancient Egypt, providing a glimpse into the lives of its people and their artistic traditions.
