Description
Head and torso of a king holding a crook and a flail in his crossed arms. A gorget collar adorns his chest and he was probably wearing the sed (jubilee) cloak. His round hair wig protrudes off his forehead, covering his ears and ending behind his shoulders. The sculpture probably represents King Thutmose IV whose reign is well noted for this hair style.
