Detail of a Statue of Hatshepsut in a Devotional Attitude in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, September 2018
Hatshepsut in a Devotional Attitude
Object Details
Period: New Kingdom
Dynasty: Dynasty 18
Reign: Joint reign of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III
Date: ca. 1479–1458 B.C.
Geography: From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Deir el-Bahri, Senenmut Quarry, MMA excavations, 1927–28
Medium: Granite, paint
Dimensions: H (without base) 242 cm (95 1/4 in); w. (of base) 74 cm (29 1/8 in); d. 111 cm (43 11/16 in)
Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1928
Accession Number: 28.3.18
For the ancient Egyptians, the ideal king was a young man in the prime of life. The physical reality was of less importance, so an old man, a baby, or even a woman who held the titles of pharaoh could be represented in this ideal form, as in this representation of the female pharaoh Hatshepsut.
