About this asset
Full-length limestone statue of a standing Ptolemaic king depicted in traditional ancient Egyptian royal regalia, including the Nemes (Nemis) headdress and wrapped Shendyt kilt, mounted on a stone plinth under museum lighting at the Greco-Roman Museum in Alexandria. The statue exemplifies the cultural and artistic fusion of Greek and ancient Egyptian civilizations during the Ptolemaic period (305–30 BC), when Macedonian rulers adopted pharaonic iconography to legitimize their rule over Egypt. The Greco-Roman Museum in Alexandria houses one of the most significant collections of artifacts from this syncretic period in Egyptian history.
