Reserve head funerary sculpture, limestone, Old Kingdom, from Dahshur, in the Alexandria National Museum, opened 2003, in the former US consulate, a palace built 1926 on Tariq Al-Horreya street, in Alexandria, Egypt. The human head has excised ears and lines carved around the neck and down the back of the cranium. These heads were placed in the burial chamber close to the corpse, as a substitute for the real head of the deceased in the afterlife. The museum houses collections from Alexandria and Egypt, from the Pharaonic, Hellenistic, Roman, Coptic and Islamic periods. Picture by Manuel Cohen
