This piece has been the most frustrating for me. I have been working on it for quite literally years. The piece had been finished and then the finish turned white. I never had that happen before. I have been carving for over thirty years. So I am in the process of restoring the piece. This accounts for the difference in coloration. My goal is to have it completed by summer. The piece is carved from mahogany that is less than 1/2 inch thick. I did a lot of research into the costumes of the kings. To the best of my knowledge, the head gear is authentic as are the beard styles. I love the piece. It has nice balance and composition. I apologize for the poor quality of the photo, once again it is the digital image. I have just unpacked many of my sculptures from storage after a move and will take better picture once they are up and displayed. You cannot get a close up because the image is too grainy. Sorry.

Beautiful! It has a lot of presence. Meaningful looking piece.
