The statue of Amenemhat III, pharaoh of the XII dynasty (ca. 1853-1805 BC), was found between 1936 and 1937, during the excavation campaigns led by the papyrologist Achille Vogliano, at the site of Medînet Mâdi, in the Fayum. The statue came to light among the remains of the temple founded by the same sovereign and dedicated to Renenutet, the cobra goddess associated with the harvest, the crocodile Sobek, the patron of the region, and Horus. The pharaoh is depicted seated on a cubic throne, wearing the royal headdress (nemes) and the uraeus on the forehead, a symbol of royalty; an offering table is placed on his knees. On the sides of the legs, the names of the sovereign with the epithet beloved by Renenutet of Gia can be read, the Egyptian name of Medînet Mâdi.
