Head of a king in the red crown

Third Intermediate Period–Late Period

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 130

This statue is likely to be a king in the red crown rather than the goddess Neith in the red crown. The goddess does not seem to wear a uraeus on her brow.

Features like the narrow tabs in front of the ears and the seams in the face suggest it may be datable to Dynasty 25 or a bit later.
