Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Head of a colossus Osirian king-khutawy Sekhemre Sebekhotep I (?).

• Dynasty XIII. Reign of Sekhemre-khutawy Sebekhotep I (?). • Hometown: Medamud. Excavations Bisson de la Roque. Donated by Egypt in 1927, in the distribution of findings. • Material: Limestone. • Dimensions: Height 86.8 cm, width 32.7 cm. • Conservation: Paris. Louvre, E 12924.

The identification of the sovereign here represented, is still disputed:

Gilbert and Altenmüller, thought they saw here the image of King Amenemhat III.

Bisson de la Roque, Corteggiani, Davies, Nelson and Vandier, head of the Louvre identified this as the image of a ruler of Dynasty XIII. Probably the king Sekhemre-khutawy Sebekhotep I, which is found in Medamud certain architectural elements, or perhaps, the king Khutawire Wegaf.

Also the large number of statues of King Sensusert III found in Medamud, did think that this might have been equally head, a portrait of that king of the Twelfth Dynasty.
