Head of a king, possibly Mentuhotep III

The features of this head are closely matched by a relief from Armant, near Thebes, which is housed in the Brooklyn Museum and is inscribed for King Seankhkare Mentuhotep III, son and successor of the great Mentuhotep II.

Middle Kingdom, late 11th Dynasty, reign of Mentuhotep III, ca. 2010-1998 BC. Now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
