Royal Statues in Procession New KingdomThebes (Deir el-Bahri), Egypt
Description
Object Label: The hieroglyphic text in this fragment identifies the figure on the left as Thutmose III. On the right edge in front of him, traces of another figure, most likely the female king Hatshepsut, remain. These figures are images of statues—not of the rulers themselves—that “participated” in a religious procession depicted on a wall of Hatshepsut’s funerary temple. Caption: Royal Statues in Procession, ca. 1478–1458 B.C.E.. Limestone, 6 7/16 x 6 7/8 in. (16.3 x 17.5 cm). Brooklyn Museum, Gift of the Ernest Erickson Foundation, Inc., 86.226.3.
