San Antonio Museum of Art, Texas. with Alain Chenel Antiquities, Nice, 2007. with Rupert Wace Ancient Art, London, March 2008.Private collection.The present lot may be related to a similar case in which a later vessel is inscribed with the name of an earlier pharaoh - a bronze situla now in the Berlin Museum, acc. no. 18492, see H. Schäfer and W. Andrae, Die Kunst des Alten Orients, Berlin, 1925, p.229 and p.602, no. 299,5. The Berlin situla is dated for its shape to the Late Period and, like the present lot, is inscribed for Amenemhat I, beloved of Hathor, a pharaoh of the 12th Dynasty. Reigning during the period 1976-1947 B.C., Amenemhat I founded a new administrative centre in the area of today's Lisht. He was also responsible for erecting a new building sacred to Hathor in Dendera, enhancing the prominence of the goddess. As suggested by both Ali Radwan and Peter Jánosi, the Berlin situla demonstrates how Amenemhat I was venerated as one of the builders of the Dendera temple (A. Radwan, Die Kupfer- und Bronzegefäße Ägyptens: Von den Anfängen bis zum Beginn der Spätzeit, Munich, 1983, p.149 and P. Jánosi, 'Montuhotep-Nebtawyre and Amenemhat I: Observations on the Early Twelfth Dynasty in Egypt', in Metropolitan Museum Journal, vol. 45, 2010, pp. 12 and 16). It is possible that the present lot was created to serve the same function.
