Summary

Description
English: Anlamani Black Pharaoh (Dukki Gel ) Cache, Kerma Museum, Sudan

During the excavation of a temple in Dukki Gel in January 2003,a pit containing 40 black granite statue fragments was discovered.It was identified as a favissa, where venerated sculptures were deposited for safety, handled with great care. The statues were deliberately broken in order to destroy the “power” of the pharaohs represented: all are broken at the neck and the legs, and occasionally so are the arms, the mekes cases, the nose or the uraei. The granite is carefully polished, but some details of the clothing, the adornment or the skullcap are roughened. With this treatment, pigments and fabric covered with a thin layer of gilded gesso could better adhere to the stone.

The so called Black Pharaohs are Taharqa, Tanwetamani, Senkamanisken, Anlamani, and Aspelta, who ruled Egypt in the 25th Dynasty.
