An Egyptian Sculptors’ Model of the Late Period in the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow (ГМИИ I, 1a 4127)

The article proposes an attribution for a model of a royal sculpture (ГМИИ I, 1a 4127). The artifact seems to find a rather close parallel in the sculpture head Cairo CG 838, which was attributed to the king Hakoris of the Dynasty XXIX (392/1–379/8 BC). Perhaps, this attribution can be reinforced by comparing the Moscow model with some reliefs of Hakoris emphasizing his youthful features.
