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).
