Fragment of a figure holding a multistrand coil of beads, preceded by another individual

Middle Kingdom

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 109

This fragment of relief was discovered during excavations by the Museum in the pyramid complex of Senwosret I at Lisht South. The decoration, delicately carved and then painted, preserves part of an offering procession. On the proper right edge of the piece is part of the leg of a servant, whose long-fingered hand grasps a necklace composed of multiple strands of ball beads.
