Shabti of the Senkamanisk

He is best known for his pyramid Nu 3 near Nuri . Statues of him were found near Mount Barkal , apparently hidden or buried here during an Egyptian attack. A sphinx with his name also comes from there. Objects with the name of the ruler were also found in Meroe , which already had a certain meaning back then.
