This is one of numerous relief fragments retrieved by the Egypt Exploration Fund in the clearance of the temple of king Nebhepetra Mentuhotep on the West Bank at Thebes. The fragment preserves the upper forepart of a finely sculpted head of a goddess wearing the uraeus, from one of the scenes in which the king was depicted in the company of the gods.
