Siltstone sarcophagus of Sasobek. Perhaps from Sais, Egypt. 26th Dynasty, around 630 BCE. He was the vizier (prime minister) of the northern part of Egypt in the reign of Psammetichus I (664-610 BCE). The sarcophagus is one of the finest examples of its type, and very well preserved. Sasobek's face is naturalistic (although not a portrait) and serene. He holds the pillar representing the god Osiris in one hand and the knot of the goddess Isis in the other. L. 225 cm. Inv. 17.
