 | Description |  |
Eight colossal kneeling statues recovered at Deir el Bahri portray Hatshepsut adorned with either nemes headdress or the White Crown of Upper Egypt. The figures wearing the nemes were carved with high bases, as in this statue, while those wearing the tall White Crown had low bases in order to equalize the heights of the statues. The ceremony of presenting the NW jars was a ritual performed in the sanctuary of a god, and it is probable that these sculptures were arrayed close to the sanctuary of Amun on the upper terrace of Hatchephut's funerary temple.
