一楼进大厅左右2边分别是我最喜欢的埃及和希腊罗马厅。
清水帖了很多埃及的，我就不多帖了，除了几个特别的。
The face of Senwosret III
这个看起来不是很起眼，但是是被Met视为镇馆宝的那种，呵呵，在整个埃及文化中，貌似也属于很重要的那种，因为他脸部线条的柔和。
给摘一段Met的说明吧，俺懒，大字也慢。
The face of Senwosret III is one of the most individual and recognizable in all of Egyptian art. The deep-set, heavy-lidded eyes, the thin lips, and the series of diagonal furrows marking the rather hollow cheeks give representations of this king a brooding expression not usually found on the faces of Egyptian kings, who are generally portrayed with a more youthful countenance. Although it lacks any inscription, this fragment of a quartzite statue is easily identified as a likeness of Senwosret III. However, unlike the stern features seen on the face of the king's gneiss sphinx (see 17.9.2), the expression here is somewhat softened, suggesting the face of a living, aging man. This image is one of the few instances in Egyptian art in which the ruler seems consciously to have chosen to represent his humanity rather than an idealized image of eternal kingship.
