Kushite priest wearing garment with leopard's head and tassels, subsequently adapted for a king

Kushite priest wearing garment with leopard's head and tassels, subsequently adapted for a king. Dimensions: H. 21 x D. 5.5 cm (8 1/4 x 2 3/16 in). Dynasty: Dynasty 25. Date: ca. 712-664 B.C..
The rounded head with small features atop a slender but powerful body identifies this statue as Kushite. Beneath the bare torso, the lower body is clothed with a kilt. From a wide belt hangs a leopard's head, signifiying priestly office, and long cords ending in vegetal tassels. The arms and legs, now missing, would have been attached separately.
