ancientpeoples:Limestone bust of vizier Ankh-Haf Part of a group of ‘reserve’-heads found in Gizeh. These busts and reserve-heads were meant as a replacement of the tomb statues that were placed in special statue rooms, called the Serdab. Characteristic of this group is the level of individuality that can be found in the faces. This face is rendered as if it were modeled by a real person and not a stereotype.
