Description
Trial pieces—carved on limestone flakes, or ostraca—and sculptors' models allow us to see how the ancient Egyptian artist approached his work. Showing a wild dog's head on one side and a profile figure on the other, these pieces are masterpieces in their own right, and were probably meant to be copied.
