Document Sealing With the Throne Name of Amenhotep III
New Kingdom
This document sealing preserves one complete impression of a seal that was inscribed with the throne name of Amenhotep III. The full inscription reads "Nebmaatre, Son of Amun, Beloved of Horus." At the center of the impression, the ruler's name is written with the hieroglyph of a seated king holding the maat-feather, the sun disk of Re is above his head. At the left, another seated figure represents the god Amun, and the oval shape between the god and the king is a hieroglyph that means "son." At the right, the falcon represents the god Horus, and the hieroglyph "beloved" is below the seated king.
An impression of the upper right edge of the same seal is visible just below the complete impression. The left side of a third impression is also preserved (not visible in the photograph). Although this may have been made by the same seal, not enough is preserved to identify the type.
