King Senwosret III, a towering figure from ancient Egypt's Middle Kingdom era, left behind a lasting legacy that continues to captivate historians and art enthusiasts alike. His granite statue, now housed at the esteemed Brooklyn Museum of Art, stands as a testament to his enduring influence. Measuring 21 7/16 inches in height, with a base width of 7 1/2 inches and a depth of 13 11/16 inches, this imposing sculpture is a masterpiece of ancient Egyptian artistry. Crafted from medium-grained granite, its rugged texture and weathered appearance speak to the harsh conditions under which it was created. Dating back to around 1836-1818 B.C.E., during the XII Dynasty's reign, this statue holds significant historical value as a window into Egypt's rich cultural heritage. Its presence at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, accession number 52.1, ensures its preservation for future generations to marvel at and study.
