An Egyptian stone head of a male wearing close-fitting cap,
possibly Late Period,
likely modelled from 26th Dynasty figures (wig and eyes) but appears to be unfinished, ears appear to have been removed, mounted on a plinth,
5.3cm high (without plinth)
Provenance: Acquired just after WWI by the vendor's grandfather Thomas Frederick Salter (1896-1975) who was a dispatch rider and fine furniture dealer who lived in the Bristol area until his death in the 1970s; thence by descent
