This statue depicts the young king, Amenhotep IV prior
to changing his name to Akhenaten
and his move to Amarna. The king is represented dressed
in a short, pleated skirt that completely sheathes his thighs.
Around his writs and on his arms are bracelets
containing the cartouches with the complicated name
given to the deified solar disk, Re-Horakhty.
