Description   

The three heads are fragments of colossal Osiride statues of Hatshepsut which originally stood over 15 feet high in front of the columns of the uppermost colonnade at her funerary temple. This head, wearing the White Crown of Upper Egypt, belonged to a figure positioned on the southern side of the colonnade. This central figure portrays Hatshepsut holding her Osirian emblems, the crook and flail. The head and shoulders do not belong together but come from similar statues.
