Title: Large Kneeling Statue of Hatshepsut Period: New Kingdom Dynasty: Dynasty 18 Reign: Joint reign of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III Date: ca. 1473–1458 B.C. Geography: Egypt, Upper Egypt; Thebes, Hatshepsut Hole, Senenmut Quarry, Deir el-Bahri, MMA 1927-1928 Medium: Granite Dimensions: H. 295.9 cm (116 1/2 in); w. of base 81.3 cm (32 in); d. of base 145.4 cm (57 1/4 in) shipping weight in 2006, 3175.2 kg. (7000 lbs) Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1930 Accession Number: 30.3.1 Text from: www.metmuseum.org/Works_of_Art/collection_database/egypti... and Hatshepsut was represented in her temple by at least ten over-life-sized statues in kneeling pose offering globular vessels to the god Amun. These huge figures flanked the processional way along the which the god's image was carried toward the temple's main sanctuary. Most probably the large kneeling images occupied the space between the ramps in the second court. Since in this particular piece the pharaoh wears the white crown, it must have stood on the left (southern) side of the processional way. On the base, Hatshepsut is said to be "presenting the annual revenues before Amun" and on the back pillar, "beloved of Amun in Djeserdjeseru." The latter is the name of her temple meaning "holy of holies." Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.

Sphinx of Hatshepsut, New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, reign of Hatshepsut, ca. 1473–1458 b.c. Egyptian Red granite with traces of blue and yellow paint L. 11 ft. 3 in. (343 cm), H. 5 ft. 4 1/2 in. (164 cm) Rogers Fund, 1931 (31.3.166) This colossal sphinx portrays the female pharaoh Hatshepsut with the body of a lion and a human head wearing a nemes headcloth and royal beard. The use of the sphinx to represent the king dates back to the Old Kingdom and the Great Sphinx of Giza. The sculptor has carefully observed the powerful muscles of the lion as contrasted to the handsome and attractive idealized face of the queen. It was one of six royal sphinxes that lined the processional way leading to the queen's mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri. Recovered by the Museum's Egyptian Expedition, it was found smashed into many fragments and buried in pits near the temple. It weighs more than seven tons.

Lintel of Hatshepsut and Thutmosis III Thebes, from the Ramesseum Dynasty 19 (1479-1458 BC) Limestone # E1823 This lintel originally stood in the temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahri, about a half mile west of the Ramesseum. The lintel dates to the joint rule of Queen Hatshepsut and her stepson / nephew, Thutmosis III. (See the red granite head of this ruler elsewhere in the gallery.) The three lines of hieroglyphs commemorate the names and principal titles of each ruler. Only the names of Thutmosis III remain. The names of Hatshepsut have been intentionally erased after the death of the queen. Text from the U. Penn. Museum label.
