Funerary portrait of a man, deposited in a vaulted tomb
C. 1500 BC
Susa
The Louvre
Someone who died 3500 years ago who, while completely forgotten, was worthy enough in his time to warrant a permanent sculpted likeness, which became a museum piece shuffled into your tumblr dashboard. Posted on the off chance you were starting to feel important.

And another thing… The Louvre sure does have a whole lot of other people’s stuff, don’t they?
