| Description |  |
This enormous head wearing the double crown, and the large arm which is exhibited nearby, belong to a colossal standing figure, one of a pair, set up before the Temple of Khonspekhrod in the precincts of the Temple of Mut. The torso of the statue is still in situ. It once bore on its rear an inscription but this was completely destroyed in ancient times. The identity of the king here represented is disputed. Recent opinion favours Amenophis III.
