Relief block with the names of Amenemhat I and Senwosret I
Middle Kingdom
On this relief, King Amenemhat I (left) wears a crown with tall feathers, while King Senwosret I (right) has a crown with ram’s horns, little of which survives. The relief was originally part of a block that separated two rooms in a temple dedicated to King Amenemhat I. In these scenes, he was shown as a living king addressed by his son Senwosret I, who was also depicted as a ruling pharaoh. The representations indicate a coregency, a new development in the Middle Kingdom.
