Standing statue of Kaemsenu (?)

Standing statue of Kaemsenu (?)

An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

This standing statue and a smaller seated one (26.9.3) were found adjacent to the tomb of the priest Kaemsenu and probably depict this man. Stylistically this statue dates to the reign of Niuserre, however the architectural context of the tomb of Kaemsenu is less clear (for the priest Kaemsenu and for his tomb, see 26.9.1).

The Met collection of ancient Egyptian art consists of approximately 30,000 objects of artistic, historical, and cultural importance, dating from about 300,000 BCE to the 4th century CE. A signifcant percentage of the collection is derived from the Museum's three decades of archaeological work in Egypt, initiated in 1906 in response to increasing interest in the culture of ancient Egypt.
