monkey

 

This figurine in painted limestone (?) was acquired by an exchange with the Museum of Cairo in 1907. It depicts a monkey who seems to want to protect with both arms her young which clings to her body, between her folded legs. Neither the provenance nor the date of the piece are known with certainty.
