Description   

This sculpture is a very rare example of a royal statue from the Seventeenth Dynasty and the largest piece of royal sculpture known of that date. Little is known about King Sobekemsaf I. The inscription on the statue mentions Amun-Re, making it likely that the statue was erected at Karnak.
