Amunhotep III
Description
Object Label: The dynamics of permanence and change in Egyptian art are well reflected in this statuette of Amunhotep III. The form of the striding male figure dates back to as early as the Third Dynasty (circa 2675– 2625 B.C.E.). The Blue Crown did not appear until right before the Eighteenth Dynasty (circa 1539 B.C.E.), more than one thousand years later. The style was completely new: unlike most Egyptian kings, Amunhotep III allowed himself to be portrayed as an aging man with a noticeable paunch and sagging jowls. Caption: Amunhotep III, ca. 1390–1352 B.C.E.. Wood, gold leaf, glass, pigment, Total height: 10 3/8 in. (26.3 cm) Base: 6 5/16 x 1 1/16 x 2 3/8 in. (16 x 2.7 x 6 cm).
