Senwosret-Ankh in hieroglyphs
Era: New Kingdom (1550–1069 BC)

His mastaba was discovered in 1933 near the pyramid of Senusret I at Lisht. The tomb's superstructure was thoroughly destroyed because the stones had been removed. The tomb was looted in antiquity, but some nice pieces of sculpture were found by the excavators, like a limestone sitting statue of Senewosret-Ankh himself, now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (acc. no. 33.1.2a–c^[1]). The walls of the burial chamber were decorated with Pyramid Texts.^[2]
