Close-up view of the upper section of the colossal double seated statue of Pharaoh Amenhotep III and his chief wife Queen Tiye, housed in the Egyptian Museum (Al-Mathaf Al-Masri) on Tahrir Square, Cairo. The statue, carved from a single block of stone, dates to the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom period and is one of the most significant royal group statues in ancient Egyptian art. Amenhotep III reigned circa 1386–1353 BC and his queen Tiye was a highly influential non-royal consort, whose prominence is reflected in this rare colossal double depiction.
