IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 51041 accession number: E.12.1910 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Tuesday 25 February 2020 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Sandstone statue fragment. Only the head is preserved and depicts a man wearing a helmet. The Nubians (from southern Egypt/modern Sudan) were famous warriors and often fought for the Egyptian army. This particular representation may be a statue of a deceased person, intended to represent the man during his lifetime. It is also possible that the representation functioned as part of the funerary cult of the dead and was intended as an image to which the Ba (spirit) of the deceased could return. Such images were placed in tombs. The surface is badly eroded and many of the detailed features are now missing. object type: Fragment of a statue in the form of a head of a man, wearing a helmet. title: figure LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Antiquities STABLE URL ---------- url: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/51041 TECHNIQUES ---------- carved CATEGORIES ------ category: statue DATING ------ creation date: 100 - 200 creation date earliest: 100 creation date latest: 200 culture: Roman DIMENSIONS ---------- dimension: Height units: m value: 0.18 EXHIBITIONS HISTORY ------------------- title: Africa: The Art of a Continent IMAGES surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/e_12_1910_1_201310_mfj22_dc2.jpg height: 1024 pixels width: 630 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/mid_e_12_1910_1_201310_mfj22_dc2.jpg height: 813 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/e_12_1910_1_201310_mfj22_dc2.jpg height: 1024 pixels width: 630 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/preview_e_12_1910_1_201310_mfj22_dc2.jpg height: 406 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/e_12_1910_2_201310_mfj22_dc2.jpg height: 1024 pixels width: 700 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/mid_e_12_1910_2_201310_mfj22_dc2.jpg height: 731 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/e_12_1910_2_201310_mfj22_dc2.jpg height: 1024 pixels width: 700 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/preview_e_12_1910_2_201310_mfj22_dc2.jpg height: 366 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/653/670/large_E_12_1910_2_2007_mas.jpg height: 1469 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/653/670/mid_E_12_1910_2_2007_mas.jpg height: 717 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/653/670/E_12_1910_2_2007_mas.jpg height: 3472 pixels width: 2420 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/653/670/preview_E_12_1910_2_2007_mas.jpg height: 359 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/653/671/large_E_12_1910_1_2007_mas.jpg height: 1505 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/653/671/mid_E_12_1910_1_2007_mas.jpg height: 735 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/653/671/E_12_1910_1_2007_mas.JPG height: 3397 pixels width: 2312 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/653/671/preview_E_12_1910_1_2007_mas.jpg height: 367 pixels width: 250 pixels
