Description

Colossal Osiride heads of en:Hatshepsut, en:Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt, c. 1503-1482 B.C., found at en:Deir el-Bahri, Thebes. Painted en:limestone sculpture at the en:Metropolitan Museum of Art, en:New York City.

This is the surviving fragment of a statue of Hatshepsut in the guise of the god en:Osiris that in front of the columns of the upper en:carronade of her funerary temple; these figures were originally 15 feet tall.

The head on the left wears the Double Crown, the other two the White Crown of Upper Egypt. The central figure is a composite of head and shoulder fragments from two separate but similar statues. It holds the crook and flail, the emblems of Osiris.

All of the Osiride statues in her temple were architectural accents rather than freestanding. The figures were also carved from the same material as the temple itself.
