In this essay I would be comparing, and contrasting the sculptures being assigned. In this scenario we have two statues one is named Memi, Sabu, and the other statue is named the seated Statue of Judea.
The statue of Memi and Sabu has its origin from ancient Egypt probably Giza It seems to be the case that this statue is dated back to the Old kingdom, Dynasty, 4, ca 2575-2465. B.C. In the other hand we have our next statue which is the seated Statue of Judea, and which origins seems to be from southern Mesopotamia in this scenario the date is also crucial to get some more insight about this statue, and it seems to be the case that this statue was created, ca 2150- 2200.

    Statues come in many different forms, sizes, styles, and reasons. After watching our online video and I saw a statue from “The New Kingdom” of the infamous Pharaoh Akhenaten.

Being able to go up to them and look at the details rather than staring at the photographs also made me more interested in the art itself.

    The Torso of a God is a sculpture located at the Legion of Honor museum in San Francisco. The sculpture is of a pharaoh holding a staff in front of its chest with his left hand. In his right hand he is holding something that could possibly be a bell or a key, by his side. The piece looks as though it never had legs past the knees due to the stability that exists and the fact that it appears to be flat on the area it sits on. The head has broken off so that only the headpiece and beard can be seen and it is broken at an angle that the right shoulder is missing as well. The left arm is also missing except for the hand and shoulder. The back of the piece is flat as though the piece was originally located against a wall. This piece is about three feet tall and about two feet wide. The piece is smooth all over and even though certain areas are carved out, the piece still has a smooth glossy look. The statue is wearing some sort of skirt that covers the area from the hips all the way down to the bottom of the piece. It also looks like the God is wearing a bracelet on his right wrist as well as a necklace underneath the beard and headpiece. The skirt and headpiece are shown by many vertical lines next to one another with a border around them to show where they stop. Other than the left leg that is slightly stepping…

    It always starts off the same way. I’m driving down this dirt road by myself. There’s a streetlight somewhere that follows me, but I don’t know where it’s coming from. The road is endless, and I can’t really see anything besides the road and the trees. Then after what feels like an hour of driving, I see someone on the side of the road. I drive past them, because you know, picking up hitch hikers is bad, even in dreams. Then the next thing I know, they’re on my windshield, screaming at me and shit. The car swerves, and I crash into a tree.…
