Large statue of Nakhti
Assiout
Between 1991 and 1928 BC (early 12th Dynasty)
Acacia wood
The tomb of the chancellor Nakhti was undisturbed for nearly 4000 years. In the entrance chapel two large wooden statues were found; both depict the deceased and are lifesize. Other small representations of Nakhti were laid around the sarcophagus in the tomb. This is the most striking of all the statues; the quality of the woods, its carving and the facial expression are all remarkable. The collection of relics from this tomb are divided between Paris and Cairo; together they give us a good picture of the funerary possessions of a member of the privileged class of that time. Alongside painted wooden sarcophagi, models of scenes of life along the Nile, gift bearers and imitation weapons and tools surrounded the dead man.
