Product information "The Berlin Green Head"
The Green Head, which takes its name from the colour of the material used, is one of the outstanding achievements of Egyptian round sculpture of all time. The artist's clearly expressed familiarity with the anatomical structure of the human face is just as unique as the certainty of its depiction and realisation in artistic form. Nevertheless, the Green Head should not be seen as a realistic portrait of an anonymous civil servant or priest, but as a successful attempt to convey the spiritual depth and transcendence of human existence. Original: Staatliche Museen zu Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbesitz. Egypt, late period, around 300 BC, stone. Polymer ars mundi museum replica moulded by hand, height with diabase base 31 cm.
