Statue of Deified Amenhotep I 1279 BC

This facsimile, a 1:1 scale copy of a section of a tomb painting, depicts the deified Amenhotep I. Created in 1279 BC, the artwork shows the pharaoh seated in a golden throne with a uraeus serpent adorning his crown. He holds a staff in his hand and is surrounded by other symbols of power and divinity. The work is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and is a valuable record of ancient Egyptian art and belief.
