Wall Fragment with King Facing Right
(Ancient Egypt and Nubia )
This sunk relief wall fragment depicts a figure facing right. He wears a collar, arm bands, wrist bands, a belt, a short kilt, and a scarf behind his shoulder. There is an inscription at the left with glyphs for "life" and "happiness." The upper part with a head and helmet attached with plaster is probably a forgery.
