A substantial six-pound solid brass statue adds grandeur to any interior space, as its centerpiece captures the bold elegance of the late Mid-Century Egyptian Revival and Hollywood Regency movements. Cast during the historic 1976–1979 traveling U.S. museum exhibition tour and originally made in China, the bust perfectly captures the bold aesthetics of the late Mid-Century Egyptian Revival with an elegant, reflective golden patina that highlights the refined architectural lines of the iconic nemes headdress. This versatile sculpture serves as a striking anchor for maximalist eclectic interior design—fitting seamlessly on a lacquered console table, a stylized breakfront, or a mantel display—while working effortlessly as a stunning, commanding desktop paperweight or library bookend.
