 | Description |  |
As in the colossal granite figure nearby, Hatshepsut wears the royal nemes headdress of Egypt's male rulers. The small size of this statue suggests that it may originally have been placed in a niche somewhere in Hatshepsut's funerary temple. Fragments of a sculpture of similar size and form were also recovered from a dump near the temple, indicating that a pair of such statues once existed.
