Relief of Nyankhnesut Seated

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Relief of Nyankhnesut Seated by an unknown artist shows a seated man carved into a flat stone panel. The man has a long, straight face with a slightly downturned mouth and almond-shaped eyes. He wears a long head covering that drapes down his back and a short, collared tunic. His right arm rests on his lap with the palm up and fingers curled. His left arm holds a staff vertically with the top angled towards the upper-right corner. The man sits on a low chair with curved legs. The stone is light gray with darker gray and brown tones evident in the background. The panel's left edge is rough and uneven. A dark border surrounds the stone panel.
