Block statue of the overseer of priests, Sitepehu. Pigment remains on wig, face and hands. The inscription is excuted in blue with red framing lines. The priest Sitepehu is shown in this block statue. The form of his body is only faintly perceptible beneath his long robe that completely covers his body and feet. The statue is notable for its large size and unusually well-preserved paint. The inscription on the front and right side of the statue addresses requests for the afterlife to the gods Osiris and Inheret, and lists the name, titles, epithets and virtues of the deceased. This statue was found in situ in the central doorway of Sitepehu’s tomb at Abydos.
This is a fragmentary bust from one of a series of colossal figures that originally decorated the front of a row of rectangular pillars in the courtyard of a small temple at Abydos. The king is depicted mummiform in the style of the god Osiris. The king holds the symbols of kingship, the crook and flail, in his now missing hands. Since the figure was intended to tower over any human below, the eyes look down. Much of the original color remains.
