介绍（中）	国王Nebhepetre Mentuhotep II被埃及人尊为在旧王国结束后的分裂时代（第一中间时期）后重新统一埃及的统治者。国王是底比斯统治者家族的后裔，在底比斯西部的代尔巴赫里建造了他的坟墓和太平间寺庙。这个浮雕最初是寺庙主圣殿装饰的一部分，在国王统治结束时被添加到建筑物中。这块砖上的人物和铭文之间的微妙平衡，以及国王形象的清晰轮廓和规则比例及其个性化的面部特征，体现了几十年来在建造和装饰巨大的寺庙建筑群时发展起来的浮雕艺术的顶峰。街区右侧的女神哈索尔的形象在阿玛纳时期被凿掉，当时阿肯那顿国王宣传了对阿顿神的唯一崇拜。哈索尔在19王朝早期用石膏修复，整个街区上的一些油漆也可能在当时进行了更新。
介绍（英）	King Nebhepetre Mentuhotep II was revered by the Egyptians as the ruler who reunited Egypt after the era of disunity (the First Intermediate Period) that followed the end of the Old Kingdom. Descended from a family of Theban rulers, the king built his tomb and mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri in western Thebes. This relief was originally part of the decoration of the temple's main sanctuary that was added to the building at the end of the king's reign. The fine balance between figures and inscriptions on this block, as well as the clear outline and regular proportions of the king's image with its individualized facial features, exemplify the peak of a relief art that had developed over the decades while the vast temple complex was built and decorated. The figure of the goddess Hathor on the right of the block was chiselled away during the Amarna period, when King Akhenaten propagated the sole worship of the god Aten. Hathor was repaired in plaster in early Dynasty 19 and some of the paint on the whole block may also have been renewed at the time.
