EDITORS COMMENTS
This stone statuette showcases the regal presence of Amenemhat III, a Pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt, who ruled from approximately 1860 BCE to 1814 BCE. Discovered in the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt, this 19th century BC artwork now resides in the esteemed Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark. Amenemhat III, also spelled Amenemhet III, is depicted in this bust as a mature and powerful ruler, with a serene expression and a well-groomed beard and wig. The intricately carved details of his royal headdress, adorned with the symbol of the falcon god Horus, further emphasize his divine connection and status as a pharaoh. Despite the passage of thousands of years, the damage and wear on this statuette have not diminished its historical significance or artistic value. The subtle damage, such as the missing nose and part of the crown, only add to the intrigue and allure of this ancient artifact. Portraiture was an essential aspect of ancient Egyptian culture, and this statuette is a prime example of the skill and artistry of the Middle Kingdom period. The intricately carved features and the sense of realism conveyed in this stone sculpture offer a glimpse into the lives and appearances of the rulers of ancient Egypt. This artifact serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural achievements of the Egyptian civilization, and its presence in the Carlsberg Glyptotek is a testament to the importance of preserving and sharing the world's artistic and historical treasures.
