Description: This paper examines the torso of a male figure housed in Kom-Oushim storeroom, El-Fayoum (Inv.no.307). This torso is carved in sandstone with a height of about 1.16 m. The head and feet are missing. The back-pillar is badly-damaged as well. The torso represents a man standing in a full-frontal pose, wearing two tight garments; a tight short-sleeved tunic with a round-shaped neck, and an Egyptian fringed mantel grasped by the left hand. The right arm is stretching along the body. The left leg is advanced, while the right leg is straight and pulled back. The main challenge in studying this torso is the lack of information about its archaeological context, the missing head, and the bad condition of the back pillar. The pattern of the dress helps the stylistic analysis, to understand the dedication and context of this torso. This torso represents a governor (strategos), and dates to the end of the 1 stcentury BC or the beginning of the 1stcentury AD.
