PugJesus replylemmy.worldIt really is fantastic, I thought it was a re-enactor or the like from the thumbnail. I don't think I've ever seen any ancient statue like it.15

00ops replylemm.eeThose black ridges over the eyes kind of give the illusion of eyelashes with eyeliner though6
QQuantumSparkles sh.itjust.worksThat is a level of detail and realism that you didn’t see much at that time from what I understand19
AArbitraryValue replysh.itjust.works1Hide 1 replyI have never come across an ancient Egyptian statue in this style before. It's interesting that even the statue of his wife from the same tomb is much more stylized. (from your link)18

Looks a bit like Teal'c, needs a gold emblem oh forehead.

Teal'c, isn't that hot?
Extremely
Tituss Burgess?
I was feelin' Conleth Hill as Varys personally

Looks like the disguise Arnold wears in Total Recall

First thing I thought of too. 😂

Damn and it's made with wood. Crazy.
But this photo only shows from the shoulders up?
So much detail on the eyes but the ears are merely a suggestion.
Crossover between Teal'c and Lord Varys.

I saw this guy huffing galaxy gas outside the Wawa.
I can hear this man speak. Absolutely exquisite.
Happy they were chunky 🐒 too.
