Fragment of a Royal Statue
1700–1650 B.C.
Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest
Budapest, Hungary
This royal portrait is the broken off upper part – in effect the bust – of a statue of a king seated on a throne. For a long time it was believed to be the portrait of Amememhat III (Dynasty XII, 19th century B.C.), but recent critical analysis of style dated the piece to some generations later. A more exact dating would only be possible if the rest of the statue and the inscriptions were available.
