Torso of an official of Nectanebo I, Late Period, Dynasty 30, 380–362 , From Egypt; Probably from Eastern Delta, Saft el-Hina (Per-Sopdu), Gray green diorite, H. x W. x D. cm (17 1/8 x 9 3/8 x 5 5/16 in.), The name of the man represented is not preserved, but he proudly asserts his attachment to Nectanebo I by placing the king's cartouches at the head of the texts on the back pillar. The slightly greenish flocked stone is associated with the site of Saft el-Hina, and, indeed, the left side of the back pillar figures an address by the deceased to the priesthood of the temple of Sopdu, confirming that the statue stood in the ancient city of Per Sopdu, modern Saft el-Hina
