Statuette of lion holding a Nubian captive

Statuette of lion holding a Nubian captive. Dimensions: H. 8 cm (3 1/8 in.); W. 2.1 cm (13/16 in.); D. 3.5 cm (1 3/8 in.). Dynasty: Dynasty 12, late - Second Intermediate Period. Date: ca. 1850-1550 B.C.. The arms of this Nubian boy are held freely at his sides with the palms turned outward in a gesture of voluntary submission. It is answered by the lion's attitude, more protective than menacing. Three holes in the top of the animal's head appear to have served to fix a lid over a cavity that still contains traces of organic fiber. The piece may have served as a container for a cosmetic substance imported from the south.
