Gratefully built with ACNLPatternTool
Middle Kingdom
This fragment of a block depicts the heads of two goats moving to the left. The subtle low relief in which they are carved identifies them as coming from the causeway of Senwosret I. It may be part of an agricultural scene, or may represent part of the enemy flocks captured in the king's campaigns. Part of a foot, and perhaps a dress, are visible in the register above.
