[edit] Summary

Description

Colossal seated 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, though the false beard is missing.

After en:Thutmosis III ordered Hatshepsut removed from history, the statue's face was systematically destroyed. The entire statue was also smashed to pieces, to be reassembled only from excavated fragments.

Traces of original pigment remain on the statue's headdress and collar.
