Funerary guardian figure
This wooded guardian wears the crown of upper Egypt but it does not represent the pharaoh, its divine kilt makes it a divine guardian. Its position, along with its counterpart, was positioned behind the shrine of Imiut and therefore this figure is a divine guarduan of the Imiut.
Egyptian

Middle Kingdom, 12th dynasty, reign of Amenemhat II, 1919-1878 B.C.

The original quote goes “Her laugh was a question he wanted to spend his entire life answering.”
Altered it a bit. And found the photo on Tumblr, so yeah. :)
Absolutely adore this quote though.

الحُزنُ الكامِنُ في عُمقي
حُزنٌ مَجهولُ الأسبابْ
والقلبُ الساكِنُ في جَنبي
مِثلُ السِّردابْ
الحزنُ الكامنُ في عُمقي
حزنٌ مجهولُ الأسماءْ
حزنٌ يتوغَّلُ في جِسمي
حتى الإعياءْ
الحزنُ الكامنُ في عُمقي
حزنٌ مِن خوفٍ مجهولٍ
خوفٍ مِن كلِّ الأشياءْ
