Abstract
The fragmentary statue base of Senwosret I held at the Egyptian Museum of Florence (inv. 6328) is part of an almost human-size representation of the king walking on the Nine Bows. The name of a deity (most likely Amun) inscribed alongside the king's Horus name was defaced, probably during the reign of Amenhotep IV/Akhenaton. The different parallels collected from the royal statuary of Senwosret I, the study of the formula ‘nḫ, ḏd, w3s nb r rdwy nṯ nfr pn ‘all life, stability and dominion are at the feet of this perfect god’, and its occurrences show that the statue is linked to the Theban area. The fragment is probably the remnant of a larger statuary group of the king and a deity.
