Head of a sphinx, possibly of Amenemhat I, Middle Kingdom, Dynasty 12, ca. 1981–1952 B.C., From Levant; Possibly from Tyre, Dolomitic marble, H. 14.1 cm (5 9/16 in.), The smiling mouth, wide open eyes, and rounded cheeks suggest a youthful king, and the proportions of the nemes, along with the depth of the break, indicate that the head was part of a comparatively small sphinx.
