This exquisite limestone bust, believed to depict the enigmatic Pharaoh Mentuhotep III of the Middle Kingdom's 11th Dynasty, dates back to approximately 2000-1988 BC. Housed in the esteemed Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, United States, this masterpiece of ancient Egyptian art showcases the remarkable craftsmanship and artistic innovation of the time.

This portrait bust, with its serene expression and intricately carved features, offers a glimpse into the regal presence and power of this ancient ruler. The intricacies of the sculpture reveal the artist's mastery of the Egyptian artistic style, which emphasized idealized representations of the human form.

The bust's preservation is a testament to the enduring nature of Egyptian art and the importance placed on the afterlife and the eternal legacy of their rulers. This artifact invites us to explore the rich history and cultural significance of ancient Egypt, transporting us back to a time of grandeur and wonder.
