Аннотация: The article discusses a sculpture head in the A. S. Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts (inv. no. I, 1a 5429) and its analogies, which all seem to belong to cultstatues of Ptolemy V. These artifacts show a trend of Hellenism in iconography and obviously represent the portrait features of the young king, unlike earlier strictly Egyptian and conventional Ptolemaic portraits. A number of scholars believed that the period, to which these images belonged, was marked with the “Egyptianisation” of the Ptolemaic kingship. The term is questionable, as the Egyptians paid attention not so much to the native or alien origin or entourage of a king as to his ability to perform ritual and his sacrality, respectively. The alleged “Egyptianisation” was highlighting these qualities (namely, the embodiment of Horus, son of Osiris and Isis, providing the sacrality) in Ptolemy IV and V. This accent in propaganda was prompted by the need to confront native opposition since the mid-3rd century BC.
