AN EGYPTIAN LIMESTONE PORTRAIT HEAD OF A WOMAN NEW KINGDOM, LATE 18TH-19TH DYNASTY, CIRCA 1390-1186 B.C.
Roman Over Life-Size Statue of Antinous, Companion of Emperor Hadrian, as a Hunter 130-138 AD
Nude but for the paludamentun (cloak) over his left shoulder and arm, clasped on his right shoulder. He has the characteristic muscular development of Antinous, his boyish face, and mass of curls bound with a diadem. Limestone. H. 152 x w. 51 x d. 31.5 cm.
Antinous, also called Antinoös, (c. 111 – c. 130) was a Greek youth from Bithynia and a favourite and lover of the Roman emperor Hadrian. Following his premature death before his twentieth birthday, Antinous was deified on Hadrian's orders, being worshipped in both the Greek East and Latin West, sometimes as a god (θεός, theós) and sometimes merely as a hero (ἥρως, hḗrōs).
Little is known of Antinous's life, although it is known that he was born in Claudiopolis (present day Bolu, Turkey), in the Roman province of Bithynia et Pontus. He was probably introduced to Hadrian in 123, before being taken to Italy for a higher education. He had become the favourite of Hadrian by 128, when he was taken on a tour of the Roman Empire as part of Hadrian's personal retinue. Antinous accompanied Hadrian during his attendance of the annual Eleusinian Mysteries in Athens, and was with him when he killed the Marousian lion in Libya, an event highly publicised by the Emperor. In October 130, as they were part of a flotilla going along the Nile, Antinous died amid mysterious circumstances. Various suggestions have been put forward for how he died, ranging from an accidental drowning to an intentional human sacrifice or suicide.
Following his death, Hadrian deified Antinous and founded an organised cult devoted to his worship that spread throughout the Empire. Hadrian founded the city of Antinoöpolis close to Antinous's place of death, which became a cultic centre for the worship of Osiris-Antinous. Hadrian also founded games in commemoration of Antinous to take place in both Antinoöpolis and Athens, with Antinous becoming a symbol of Hadrian's dreams of pan-Hellenism. The worship of Antinous proved to be one of the most enduring and popular of cults of deified humans in the Roman empire, and events continued to be founded in his honour long after Hadrian's death.

A Cypriot Limestone Male Head Circa 5th Century B.C.
An Egyptian Limestone Block Statue of a Man 3rd Intermediate Period, 1075-716 B.C.
Seated on a rectangular base with his arms crossed on his knees and hands emerging from his enveloping cloak, and wearing a short beard and wide rounded wig falling to his shoulders, a rectangular pillar behind, his face with large eyes with incised tapering eyebrows and cosmetic lines. Height 32 cm.
The distinctive form of the Egyptian block statue first appeared in the Middle Kingdom and grew in popularity afterward. The large surface areas were particularly suitable for inscriptions, and the sturdy compact shape gave the statue permanence. In certain instances, they may have been intended as guardians of temple entrances.
AN EGYPTIAN LIMESTONE SCULPTOR’S MODEL OF NECTANEBO II
LATE PERIOD, 30TH DYNASTY, REIGN OF NECTANEBO II, 360-343 B.C.
2 7⁄8 in. (7.3 cm.) high.
This royal portrait of the Nectanebo II is delicately sculpted of fine-grained limestone in shallow raised relief. His head is shown in profile to the right, while the shoulders are represented frontally. The king wears the Khepresh or Blue Crown fronted by a uraeus, its hood fully displayed, the body undulating twice, with the tail rising up along the crown. His garment is enhanced with a beaded collar. The thin modeled brow and slanted eye, together with the round tip of the nose and slightly smiling mouth are all characteristics of depictions of Nectanebo II, the last native ruler of Egypt before the Macedonian conquest.
