The fine head of a king made from a white-painted sandstone. The features are very finely incised and well-modelled. The head of the uraeus is broken but otherwise there is little damage. It is possible that the head belonged to a royal sphinx statue.

Fraai hoofd van een koning van witgeschilderd zandsteen. De trekken zijn op een fijne manier ingegraveerd en gemodelleerd. De kop van de uraeus is afgebroken, maar voor het overige is het stuk nauwelijks beschadigd. Mogelijk behoorde het hoofd tot het beeld van een koninklijke sfinx.
