Stela of Kemes, Middle Kingdom, Dynasty 13, ca. 1750–1720 BC, From Egypt, Limestone, L. 66.2 cm (26 1/16 in.); H. 73.4 cm (28 7/8 in.); W. 33.9 cm (13 3/8 in.), This monument, dedicated to a man named Kemes, is a rare example of a memorial stela with a powerful architectural presence. The artist chose isolated elements found in a tomb complex and recombined them into a single novel and evocative monument: a three-dimensional stela, rather than the traditional single-sided type
