Statue of Thutmose III
New Kingdom
This colossal statue of Thutmose III wearing the white crown was excavated at the temple of the solar god and god of warfare, Montu, at Medamud, the ancient Madu. The king is represented in a pose of adoration and an inscription on the back pillar describes him as "beloved of Montu, Lord of Madu." For centuries, the statue was lying in the ground on its left side, causing deterioration there. But enough remains on the right to demonstrate that it was a major work of sculpture in the mature style prevalent during the later years of the great king's reign.
