Maqueta de barco

Middle Kingdom
ca. 1981–1975 B.C.
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 105
Este modelo, que data del principio del reinado de Amenemhat I, representa una barca de remos que navega río abajo por el Nilo. Las velas solo se podían utilizar río arriba si soplaba el viento del norte. Cuando la barca iba río abajo, el mástil (hoy desaparecido) se sacaba de su carlinga y se colocaba horizontalmente en la horquilla blanca. El timonel maneja el remo timonero largo; en la proa, otro hombre se dispone a medir la fluctuante profundidad del cauce del río. El capitán está de pie ante el mayordomo de Amenemhat, Meketre. Este, sentado delante de su cabina, escucha la melodía de un arpista ciego y un cantante.
