Quail Chick Hieroglyph Relief

This beautiful 𓄤 sculpture is a raised relief of a quail chick 𓅱 hieroglyph 𓊹𓌃 dates to the Ptolemaic Period in Egypt 𓆎𓅓𓏏𓊖. This relief shows the full hieroglyph 𓊹𓌃 in beautiful 𓄤 detail. This style of an object being “unfinished but actually finished” was very popular during this time period. Limestone pieces such as these are often referred to as “sculptors models” by Egyptologists because they are very detailed and only show one part of the object.
