ABSTRACT
FEW have contributed more to the study of Egyptian art than Cyril Aldred. His elegantly written books and articles have influenced generations of students, myself included. Scholars benefit from his keen eye, particularly his ability to appreciate subtle differences of style, not only between reigns but even within a given reign, particularly during the Amarna Period. This study, offered in his honour, is an attempt to apply Aldred's methodology to examine in detail the dated royal reliefs of Nebhepetre Montuhotep's funerary temple at Thebes with the aim of distinguishing temporal variations in relief style. Over the years, references have been made to differences in style by a number of authors, 1 but a complete discussion seems long overdue.
