A closer
examination of the male head shows that it is undoubtedly Mykerinos. The
group was finished in detail, but only the face of the king has been polished.
The face of the king (including ears and neck but not the headdress) was
also the only part which had been colored -- a yellowish red. The face
of the Queen has a strong resemblance to the facial type used in the heads
of Hathor in the slate groups. It is very satisfactory to get this addition
to the group of family portraits. The pair statue was placed in case 19
for shipment to Boston on May 2, 1910. |
