 | Description |  |
This colossal kneeling statue despicts Hatshepsut ardorned with the White Crown of Upper Egypt. It may have been positioned on the southern side of the upper terrace of her funerary temple at Deir el Bahri. It is one of the few sculptural representations of Hatshepsut whose facial features are virtually intact, although the uraeus serpent on the crown has been partially hacked away. The head was discovered at Deir el Bahri by Karl Lepsius and taken to Berlin in 1845, then acquired by the Metropolitan Museum in 1930 by exchange.
