Description
A block statue of Sobeknakht who served as a ‘Supervisor at the Domain of Amun’ most likely in Dynasty 19. He is seated on a thick cushion, wearing a feathered hair wig and a long cloak. His face reflects a peaceful expression. Both hands are placed flat on his knees and his feet are carefully sculpted. The vertical column of incised hieroglyphs on the front of the cloak states his title and name. An offering formula inscribed on the back pillar implores the goddess Hathor to give Sobeknakht a joyful heart and a perfect time in the Domain of Amun.
