Amun-Re or King Amunhotep III
Description
Object Label: The crown, which once included two tall plumes, relates this sculpture to Amun or Amun-Re. However, since “Amunhotep III, beloved of Amun-Re” is inscribed on the chest ornament, the figure may represent the king as an earthly manifestation of the god. Caption: Amun-Re or King Amunhotep III, ca. 1390–1352 B.C.E.. Quartzite, 7 3/4 × 5 1/2 × 3 1/2 in. (19.7 × 14 × 8.9 cm) mount: 8 1/2 × 5 1/2 × 3 in. (21.6 × 14 × 7.6 cm).

AI image analysis GPT-5.4-nano
Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.
A small carved Egyptian stone figure/fragment showing a male royal face with a striated nemes-style headdress and a broad collar, with a bit of raised inscription detail on the chest.
The image shows the upper torso and head of a carved Egyptian figure in front view. The head has closed or downcast eyes, arched brows, and a smooth facial modeling with a short, centered chin. A nemes-like striped headdress wraps around the forehead and down the sides; the top is rounded, and a small back/neck portion is preserved. The figure wears a broad ceremonial collar (possibly a broad collar of regalia) with parallel or incised lines. On the chest, above and below the collar opening, there are worn raised carved bands and what appear to be hieroglyphic or symbolic elements in a rectangular arrangement; however, the individual signs are too worn/blurred to read reliably. No visible cartouche is clearly legible, and no clear deity attributes (e.g., specific crown forms for Amun-Re) are unambiguous from the photo alone. The object surface has an even stone texture consistent with the catalogue’s stated quartzite material, though the exact color/finish appears abraded.
