description

Summary

Two joined fragments from an octagonal column, from the ambulatory of Mentuhotep II's temple. The original column was carved from a single piece of sandstone quarried near Aswan. It is inscribed with one of the names of the king (sema tawy, "the one who unites the Two Lands") as an incarnation of the god Horus, shown here as a falcon in the crown of Upper Egypt.
