Statue of General Nakhtmin

Part of a group statue depicting Nakhtmin, a royal scribe and army general under Tutankhamun and his successor Ay. His facial characteristics are influenced by the Amarna Period. Nakhtmin was heir apparent, and possibly the son of Ay, but was supplanted by Horemheb, who may have had his statue destroyed.

New Kingdom, late 18th Dynasty, reign of Tutankhamun, ca. 1332-1323 BC. Now in the Luxor Museum.
