Description

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

These are the surviving fragments of the four statues of Hatshepsut in the guise of the god en:Osiris that stood in her funerary temple at the Sanctuary to Amun. The statues were originally 11 feet tall. Much of the paint survives; the light pink tone of the statues' skin was unusual. The head in the middle wears the Double Crown; the other two, the White Crown of Upper Egypt.

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