The bronze false beard with traces of gilding, curved at the tip, inlaid with lapis lazuli into cloisons, patterned to indicate plaiting, with tang at the top for insertion into statue.

The Egyptian nobility usually shaved their faces during life on earth, although mustaches and square beards occasionally enjoyed popularity. It was only in the sphere of the divine that long, tightly braided beards with an upturned end were worn. Many male gods, such as Osiris, the god of the underworld, are portrayed with this beard. Accordingly, images of the deceased, who became associated with Osiris after being accepted into the afterlife, often include the plaited and curved beard.

Height: 1 2/5" (3.5cm)

Provenance:
Formerly in Old English Collection, 1960-70s.

Condition:
Some inlays missing, remains uncleaned and intact.

Bibliography:

For a similar beard from a statue of a god, see Brooklyn Museum no. 16.241.; see also, Christie's, London, South Kensington, 26 April 2012, lot 135.
