The mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut




Description   

This is one of only two statues recovered from Hatshepsut's funerary temple that portray her in female form and dress, yet her regality is clearly indicated by the baglike khat headdress normaly reserved for Egyptian male rulers. As on the white limestone statue to the right, the inscriptions accord the god Amun the particular epithets that associate him with the temple of Karnak, where this statue may originally have been dedicated.
