Head of a King in the University of Pennsylvania Museum, November 2009

Head of a King in the University of Pennsylvania Museum, November 2009

Head of a King
Egypt
ca. 568-525 BC
26th Dynasty
Quartzite

# E-14303

The king wears the blue crown with the uraeus (a deadly cobra, a symbol of royalty, curved protectively upon the king's forehead in order to destroy his enemies). This statue has been identified, on stylistic grounds, as a portrait of King Amasis.
