Four Osiride figures of Hatshepsut stood in the corners of the sanctuary of Amun in her funerary temple at Deir el-Bahri. This head, which wears the Double Crown symbolizing the union of Upper and Lower Egypt, belonged to the figure in the northeast corner. Two other heads in the Museum's collection (31.3.154 and 31.3.155) wear the White Crown of Upper Egypt and come from the southern end of the sanctuary.
