 | Description |  |
In 1903, Theodore M. Davis, from Providence, Rhode Island, discovered the tomb of Tuthmosis IV, whose throne name was Menkheperure. The fragmentary remains of the king's funerary equipment included this arm panel and the blue faience objects in the wall case to the left in front in the gallery.
This side of the panel depicts "the young god, Menkheperure" enthroned, wearing the Red Crown of Lower Egypt. In front of him is the lion-headed goddess Weret, whose name is written above her head. Behind him the ibis-headed god is "Thot, Lord od Hermopolis, giving all life and dominion". He says "I have brought you millions of years of life and dominion united with eternity". Behind the throne is the phrase "all life and dominion around him (like) Re". The two scenes suggest that the chair was used either for the King's coronation, or possibly in a heb-sed festival ceremony.
