A portrait of a pharaoh, made of dark grey stone, displayed on a pedestal against a yellow background. The sculpture features a tall, conical White Crown of Upper Egypt. The face is well-defined but has visible damage, particularly on the nose and parts of the ears. Despite the missing details, the lips, eyes, and overall structure retain a striking presence

Head of Amenemhat III., 1842-1797 BC, Pharaoh during the twelfth dynasty, wearing the White Crown of Upper Egypt.
The first pyramid he attempted to build, known as the Black Pyramid (Dashur), had serious construction flaws, so a second pyramid was built in Hawara.
Made of greywacke. On display at Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek.
