Description

Colossal kneeling statue of en:Hatshepsut, en:Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt, c. 1503-1482 B.C. Red en:granite sculpture at the en:Metropolitan Museum of Art, en:New York City.

One of eight colossal statues of en:Hatshepsut recovered from en:Deir el-Bahri, which were likely placed on the upper terrace of Hatshepsut's temple, near the Temple of en:Amun. She is symbolically portrayed as a male monarch, wearing the royal nemes headdress and presenting nw jars, which formed part of a religious ritual performed in a god's sanctuary.

After en:Thutmosis III ordered Hatshepsut removed from history, the statue's eyes were gouged out, the uraeus serpent broken from her headdress, and the entire statue finally smashed to pieces. The statue was reassembled from excavated fragments.
