Summary

Description

Colossal kneeling statue of Hatshepsut, Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt, c. 1503-1482 B.C. Red granite sculpture at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City.

One of eight colossal statues of Hatshepsut recovered from Deir el-Bahri, which were likely placed on the upper terrace of Hatshepsut's temple, near the Temple of Amun. She is symbolically portrayed as a male monarch, wearing the royal nemes headdress and presenting nw jars, which formed part of a religious ritual performed in a god's sanctuary.

After Thutmosis III ordered Hatshepsut removed from history, the statue's eyes were gouged out, the uraeus serpent broken from her headdress, and the entire statue finally smashed to pieces. The statue was reassembled from excavated fragments.
