This bronze statuette depicts goddess Mut, wearing the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt, protected by the Cobra. The red-brown and green patina is particularly attractive, but the proportions and structure of the body: arms, legs and face, even the dress do not comply with the Egyptian physical type--a reflection of the new multiculturalism of the Ptolemaic Period, 304-200 BC.
