Description

Object Label: This raised relief shows Amunhotep I wearing a royal beard and the tall White Crown of Upper Egypt with a royal uraeus-cobra. The fragment comes from one of several chapels that Amunhotep I built within the Karnak Temple for the god Amun. These chapels imitate Middle Kingdom examples erected by Senwosret I of the Twelfth Dynasty, about four hundred years earlier. Certain features, however—including the curved iris of the eye, a long, curving nose with accentuated nostril, and a raised line around the corner of the mouth—typify Eighteenth Dynasty style. Caption: Amunhotep I in the White Crown, ca. 1525–1504 B.C.E.. Limestone, 13 1/2 x 8 x 1 1/4 in. (34.3 x 20.3 x 3.2 cm). Brooklyn Museum, Charles Edwin Wilbour Fund, 71.82. (Photo: Brooklyn Museum)
