Description
A black basalt statuette of a striding man. The inscription on the back pillar identifies him as Ankhenmer, an official from Asiut, whose titles are given as prince, mayor, king's acquaintance and herald of the king. Ankhenmer was therefore a man who had access to the king and acted on his behalf as a reporter of events. The inscription also makes it clear that the figure was placed in the temple of the jackal -headed god Wepwawet in Asyut, it asks every priest entering the temple to recite the formula to provide offerings for Ankhenmer. The statue is quite finely carved, with well defined muscle tone and facial features.

Een beeldje van een lopende man, uitgevoerd in zwart basalt. De inscriptie op de rugpijler identificeert de man als Anchenmer, een ambtenaar uit Asyoet, wiens titels luiden: prins, burgemeester, kennis van de koning en koninklijke bode. Anchenmer was dus een man die toegang tot de koning had en in zijn naam handelde als verslaggever van gebeurtenissen. De inscriptie maakt ook duidelijk dat het beeldje geplaatst was in de tempel van de jakhals-god Wepwawet in Asyoet; het vraagt iedere priester die de tempel binnenkomt om de offerformule te reciteren, zodat Anchenmer wordt voorzien van offergaven. Het beeldje is zeer goed uitgevoerd, met duidelijke musculatuur en gezichtskenmerken.
Statuette en basalte noir d'un homme en position de marche. L'inscription sur le pilier dorsal l'identifie comme Ankhenmer, un fonctionnaire d'Assiout portant les titres de prince, maire, connaissance du roi et héraut du roi. Ankhenmer avait donc accès auprès du roi et agissait comme rapporteur des événements. L'inscription mentionne également que la statue était érigée dans le temple du dieu à tête de chacal, Oupouaout à Assiout. Elle demande à tous les prêtres entrant dans le temple de réciter une formule d'offrandes pour Ankhenmer. La statue est finement taillée avec des muscles et des traits de visage bien définis.
Statuette eines schreitenden Mannes aus schwarzem Basalt. Die Inschrift auf dem Rückenpfeiler identifiziert ihn als Anchenmer, einen Beamten aus Assiut, dessen Titel als Prinz, Bürgermeister, Vertrauter des Königs und Bote des Königs angegeben werden. Anchenmer war demzufolge eine Person, die Zutritt zum König hatte und in seinem Auftrag als Berichterstatter von Ereignissen agierte. Die Inschrift macht auch deutlich, daß die Statuette im Tempel des schakalköpfigen Gottes Upuaut in Assiut aufgestellt war; sie bittet jeden Priester, der den Tempel betritt, die Opferformel zu sprechen, um Anchenmer mit Opfergaben zu versorgen. Die Statue ist recht fein gearbeitet mit klar umrissenen Muskelspannungen und Gesichtszügen.
Una statuetta di basalto nero di un uomo avanzante. L'iscrizione sul pilastro dorsale lo identifica come Ankhenmer, un ufficiale proveniente da Assiut, al quale sono attribuiti i titoli di principe, sindaco, conosciuto del re e araldo del re. Ankhenmer era perciò un uomo ammesso alla presenza del re e agiva per suo conto come cronista di eventi. Anche l'iscrizione rende chiaro che la figura era posta nel tempio del dio a testa di sciacallo Upuaut ad Assiut; in questa si chiede a ogni sacerdote che entra nel tempio di recitare la formula per fornire offerte ad Ankhenmer. La statua è scolpita molto finemente, con tono muscolare e caratteristiche facciali ben delineati.
Estatueta de basalto preto de um homem em pose de movimento. A inscrição no pilar dorsal identifica-o como sendo Ankhenmer, um funcionário de Assiut, cujos títulos o apresentam como nobre, governador, conhecido do rei e arauto do rei. Ankhenmer foi portanto um homem que teve acesso ao rei e agiu em seu nome como relator de acontecimentos. A inscrição também mostra claramente que a figura foi colocada no templo do deus com cabeça de cao selvagem Uepuauet em Assiut: o texto pede a cada sacerdote que entre no templo para recitar a fórmula para fornecer oferendas a Ankhenmer. A estátua está delicadamente esculpida, com traços musculares e faciais bem definidos.
Estatuilla de basalto negro, representando a un hombre andando. La inscripción del pilar a su espalda le identifica como Anjenmer, un oficial de Asiut, príncipe, alcalde, conocido del rey y mensajero real. Anjenmer era, pués, un hombre que tenía acceso al rey y actuaba en su nombre como pregonero. La inscripción también informa que la estatua fue depositada en el templo de Upuaut, dios de Asiut con cabeza de chacal. El texto solicita de cada sacerdote que entra en el templo que recite la invocación para proporcionarle ofrendas a Anjenmer. La estatua está cuidadosamente esculpida, con músculos y rasgos faciales bien definidos.
