This lintel, dating back to 1981 BC, is a remarkable example of ancient Egyptian art. Created for the Pyramid Temple of Amenemhat I, it features hieroglyphs and figures in relief. The lintel depicts a procession of figures, including a pharaoh, a god, and a falcon-headed deity, all rendered in the characteristic style of the Old Kingdom period. The intricate details and vibrant colors showcase the artistic skill of the anonymous artists who created this lintel, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This piece offers a glimpse into the religious beliefs and artistic traditions of ancient Egypt.
