| Description |  |
This colossal statue of Thutmose III wearing the White Crown was excavated at the temple of the solar god and god of warfare, Montu at Medamud, the ancient Madu. This king is represented in a pose of adoration and an inscription on the back pillar describes him as "the beloved of Montu, Lord of Madu". The statue's position in the ground caused major deterioration on its left side. Enough remains on the right side to demontrate that this was a major work of sculpture in the mature style prevalent during the later years of the king's reign.
