Nothing in the
dress or the accouterments of this
gilded wooden figure of the king indicates its
purpose. It is one of a pair from another shrine,
both being similar in every respect except for the
crown. In this figure the king wears the crown of
Upper Egypt, a bead collar, a pleated kilt with
apron, and sandals. In his hands are a flail and a
long crook, made, like the sandals, of gilded
bronze. The deep dip in the front of the girdle,
revealing much of the abdomen, is a typical feature
of the
art of the Amarna period.
