Hatshepsut New KingdomEgypt
Description
Object Label: If the name on a statue is no longer preserved, archaeologists rely on stylistic analysis to identify its subject. Though this head has often been called Thutmose III, it more likely represents the female pharaoh Hatshepsut. The male ruler Thutmose was usually depicted with a rounder, more delicate face. The feather pattern visible at the back of the head shows that the original statue depicted its subject with the plumage and wings of the falcon-god Horus, denoting kingship. Caption: Hatshepsut, ca. 1479–1425 B.C.E.. Granodiorite, 10 1/2 × 8 1/2 × 4 3/4 in., 16.5 lb. (26.7 × 21.6 × 12.1 cm, 7.48kg). Brooklyn Museum, Charles Edwin Wilbour Fund, 55.118.
