Description

Kneeling Amenemint holds an offering table with representations of a goose, leg of an ox, fowl, vegetables, breads and flowers. He wears a long shirt with wide pursed sleeves, an apron reaching his ankles and sandals; on his head is a wig with two underlying flaps lying on his shoulders. The face had been damaged in antiquity and reworked by an antiquarian in the Ninetieth century; at present it is covered by plaster imitating a natural destruction. 
By the offering table inscription A is carved. Inscription B is placed on the leg of the offering table and inscription C is on the back pillar of the statue. Inscriptions D and E begin in the center of the base and continue on its right and left sides.
Being the head of king's fan-bearers, king's librarian, overseer of the palace and of the royal funerary temple, Amenemint was one of the highest officials at the court of Rameses II whose name is mentioned in one of the inscriptions.
