Bust of Thutmose III
This marble bust was found at Deir el-Bahari in two pieces. The head that you see here is original, and was found during excavations in 1964, whereas the body is a cast of the original piece, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The colors of the royal nemes-headdress are very strong, and the king’s eyes have been lined with black paint to give them extra emphasis.
New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty, reign of Thutmose III, ca. 1479-1425 BC. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 90237
