EDITORS COMMENTS
Amenemhat III, a revered Pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty of ancient Egypt, is depicted in this stunning greywacke bust, now housed at the Carlsber Glyptotek Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark. Reigning from approximately 1860 BC to 1814 BC, Amenemhat III is considered one of the most successful and powerful rulers of the Middle Kingdom era. The intricately carved bust showcases the Pharaoh's regal and serene countenance, with a finely detailed headdress adorning his head. The Hedjet crown, symbolizing the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, sits atop his head, while a white uraeus, the protective cobra, coils around his forehead. The Pharaoh's face is characterized by a strong jawline, a well-defined nose, and a calm, introspective gaze. Amenemhat III's reign marked a period of prosperity and stability for Egypt, with significant advancements in agriculture, architecture, and art. He is also known for his military conquests, expanding the Egyptian empire's borders and securing its southern frontier. This exquisite bust, created around 1842-1795 BC, provides a tangible link to the rich history and artistic achievements of ancient Egypt. Its preservation and display at the Carlsberg Glyptotek Museum allows contemporary viewers to appreciate the intricacy and craftsmanship of Egyptian art during the Middle Kingdom period. Amenemhat III's legacy as a powerful and influential Pharaoh continues to resonate through history, making this bust an essential addition to any collection of ancient Egyptian art.
