| Ancient Egypt Treasurer of the Temple of Amun 1100 BC granite (statue fragment) Musée d'Art Classique de Mougins |
The ears of the Treasurer show the Egyptians granting more weight to what they knew about the model than to what they could actually see of him from the front.

from The Swimmer
You sat in the tub.
No sand stirred, the dead
waited in the ocean.
Then the tapwater
flooded over you,
sapphire and emerald.
The beach
is as you found it,
littered with objects.
They have brought me here;
I rifle through them,
shell and bone, and am not satisfied.
– Louise Glück (1975)
