King Osorkon I - Twenty-second dynasty 924-889 BC.
Brooklyn Museum.
Metal workers in the third medium period often used gold tubes to decorate their sculptures.
They first carved a canal filled with golden thread.
Then they hit the round edge of gold until it was flush with bronze.
On this statue, the names osorkon i, portraits of horakhty goddess and thoth, and the belt, and zoz from shendyt-kilt-kilt were all produced in gold.
Gold inlay in engraving on the bronze ..!
