Lisht - Valley Temple

From the valley temple, of which there are only scanty remains, a masonry causeway flanked by Osiris figures of the King led up to the mortuary temple. The line of this causeway can be traced at some points.

During excavations carried out by the Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York ten seated figures of Sesostris I, finely carved from Tura limestone, were found in one of the subsidiary chambers of the mortuary temple.

The excavators also found two painted wooden figures of the King, one of which, with the White Crown of Upper Egypt, is now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, while the other, with the Red Crown of Lower Egypt, is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
