Cette statue d’homme barbu a été découverte en 1909 par Louis Lortet, directeur du muséum d'histoire naturelle de Lyon (1870-1909), dans les décombres de la nécropole de Gebelein en Haute-Égypte. Cet objet funéraire est le plus remarquable de la collection prédynastique égyptienne (culture Nagada, 3800-3150 av. J.-C.) du musée des Confluences. Ses caractéristiques exceptionnelles - facture très stylisée, hauteur conséquente de 31,4 cm, taillé dans la pierre (schiste) - en font un objet unique.
