| Description |  |
The facial features of this head of Amenhotep III exhibit the salient stylistic elements of his depictions : highly arched brows, elongated almond-shaped eyes, and full, sharply outlined lips. The Blue Crown (khepresh) was apparently the king's preferred royal headdress and is worn by him in many of his statues and reliefs. This head is said to have come from Lower Egypt.
