Аннотация:The Egyptian collection of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow, preserves a small sculpture head (inventory number I, 1а 5429) of unknown provenance from the collection of Vladimir Golenischeff. Its attributes are a Hellenistic diadem, a head-lock, traces of uraeus and of a head-gear (likely a double crown); stylistically this is a part of an Egyptian statue showing Greek influence (“Group B” of Ptolemaic sculpture after P.M. Stanwick). Analogies, in the first place the “Berlin heads” ÄS 14568, 13457, 23140, allow identifying it as a portrait of Ptolemy V Epiphanes, which could be used as a cult image. Accent was made on the youthfulness of the ruler probably in order to denote his identity with Horus (cf. the Memphis Decree of 196 B.C.).
