Statue of Senkamanisken in the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, June 2018
Statue of Senkamanisken, King of Kush
Unknown (Artist)
Date: 643-623 BC
Culture: Kushite (Nubian)
Category: Sculpture
Medium: gray-black granite
Geography: Egypt
Dimensions: Overall: 70 × 25 × 30 3/4 in. (177.8 × 63.5 × 78.105 cm)
Other (Base): 13 1/2 × 16 3/4 × 31 in. (34.29 × 42.545 × 78.74 cm)
Object Number: 53.30.2
The inscriptions on the back pillar indentify this figure as Senkamanisken, King of Kush. Kush, an ancient African empire, was directly south of Egypt in what is now the Sudan and often vied with the Egyptian empire for control of the Nile valley. The Kushites ruled all or part of Egypt during Dynasty 25 (760-656 BC). Even after their expulsion, Kushite rulers were portrayed with the same artistic conventions used to portray Egyptian pharaohs, such as the tripartite royal kilt, frontal presentation, and stiff pose with strongly striding legs and arms held closely to the sides. The surface of the stone was brought to a high polish except where gold or silver plating decorated the figure’s kilt and jewelry.
