Monument of Amenemone, 19th Dynasty (1279-1213 BC) 

Granite, Borgia collection, inv. no. 1069.

The monument, certainly one of the most interesting and original sculptures in the Borgia collection, bears witness to the prestige and rank of Amenemone, chief of the Medjay, and of his family, who held key oles in the administration, the army and the clergy all over Egypt. The mummy figures depict the owner of the monument, his relatives, and those of his two wives. The prestigious titles of each are indicted, as well as the kinship relationship with Amenemone.
