Imhotep


    Cupreous alloy statue of Imhotep

    Imhotep was the architect who constructed the first true Egyptian pyramid. This was so important that the Egyptian later deified him as a patron of wisdom.  It is 14cm high, 4.8cm wide and 9.8cm in diameter ( 5 1/2 x 1 7/8 x 3 7/8 inch.)

    Egyptian, Ptolemaic Period, 332 - 32 BC.

    Found in the Delta (unsure)
