his small Ancient Egyptian bronze statuette of an Nubian king dates to the short period when Egypt was ruled by the 25th Nubian Dynasty (8th-7th centuries BC), a period during which the art of the scuptural portrait flourished. According to Ancient Egyptian canon the ruler of the Nubian dynasty is shown as a walking man with his left leg thrust forward. Originally the ruler held some attributes in his hands, but these are now lost. One identifying feature of the Nubian rulers is a broad diadem placed over short hair, the diadem adorned with a band made up of imperial symbols in the form of ureus-snakes. Two such large urei (cobras) are placed over the king's forehead. According to Egyptian perceptions, cobras with their fiery breath protected the gods and kings from evil forces. Around his neck the Nubian wearns an unusual ornament, an amulet in the form of a ram's head on a string. The king's attire is Egyptian - a short pleated apron, the belt of which is adorned with geometrical ornament.
