Bust from a statue of King Amenemhet V Sekhemkare
13th Dynasty, reign of Amenemhet V Sekhemkare, 1783-1780 BC
Only in 1986 was it discovered that this bust belonged to a statue of a king with an inscription identifying the subject as a king of the 13th Dynasty. The pharaoh wears the royal nemes head-cloth; the brow band belonging to it was probably added in paint. The uraeus serpent above the forehead has been knocked off.
