EGYPTIAN GRANODIORITE HEAD OF THE GOD AMUN WITH THE FEATURES OF KING TUTANKHAMUN
Late 18th Dynasty, Ca. 1336 - 1295 BC. A remarkably rare black stone (granodiorite) head of god Amun, with a braided beard and a flat cap. His small eyes are separated by a curved depression from the rounded brow ridge; his broad face shows full lips with sharp contours, and, from the side, a slightly drooping chin. The depiction of the god resembles the facial features of King Tutankhamun. The carving is of fine quality, suggesting the religious importance that this piece played in antiquity. The item is accompanied by a high-quality custom-made stand.
