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.
