Catalogue Description: Bound and kneeling bronze figure of a Nubian. The figure, whose hands are bound behind his back is garbed only in a kilt. This piece is normally described as part of a piece of furniture, and perhaps it was made, to judge from representations of furniture in tomb ptgs., to be set onto a horizontal connection between two chair legs. There is no indication that the top of the head supported anything. Condition: Figure pitted on right side at level of waist; kilt and knees are abraded. Patina black with traces of copper metal showing through areas of rubbing. Pitted on back. Treated previously-possible varnish.
