Priest Statue - 13*9*22 cm

The priesthood was already established in the Early Dynastic Period in Egypt (c. 3150-2613 BCE) but developed in the Old Kingdom (c. 2613-2181 BCE) at the same time as the great mortuary complexes like Giza and Saqqara were being constructed. Throughout Egypt's history, the priesthood would serve a vital role in maintaining religious belief and tradition while, at the same time, consistently challenge the authority of the king by amassing wealth and power which at times rivaled that of the crown. The priest was a high-ranking in ancient Egyptian society, usually depicted with calm features, wearing a wig and a short kilt, seated in a devotional pose.

This piece would be a precious gift for your loved ones, as it was crafted by Egyptian hands to be an authentic replica of the original artifact piece, and it comes with an authorized/documented certificate from the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities to ensure its quality and authenticity.
