Modelo de barco

Middle Kingdom
ca. 1981–1975 B.C.
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 105
Este modelo, que data do início do reinado de Amenemhat I, representa um barco a vela com remo que navega rio abaixo pelo Nilo. As velas podiam ser utilizadas apenas rio acima se soprasse o vento do norte. O barco descia o rio, o mastro (agora extinto) teria sido retirado da sua base e colocado horizontalmente na forquilha branca. O timoneiro maneja o remo grande e na proa outro homem está posicionado para medir a profundidade flutuante do canal do rio. O capitão está diante do mordomo de Amenemhat, Meketre, que, sentado na frente de sua cabine, ouve a melodia de um harpista cego e de um cantor.
