Upper part of a royal statue (Senwosret II?)
12th Dynasty, reign of Senwosret II, ca. 1897-1877 BC;
The king wears the royal nemes head-cloth with brow band and uraeus serpent. An amulet hangs from a cord around his neck. The two hieroglyphs preserved in the inscription on the backpillar do not provide enough information to identify the subject of the statue. However, stylistic features suggest its attribution to King Senwosret II.
