Descripción
This large quartzite nose comes from one of two colossal seated statues of the Middle Kingdom King Amenemhat III. Originally about twelve meters high, these were erected as part of a royal monument at Biyahmu in the Fayum. During the Middle Kingdom, the Fayum was the focus of numerous building projects, probably as the result of land reclamation projects undertaken in the region at the time.
Biyahmu, Fayum, Middle Kingdom, 12th Dynasty, reign of Amenemhat III (about 1844-1797 BC).
