Cabeza de Tutankhamón y mano de Amón

New Kingdom, Amarna Period
ca. 1336–1327 B.C.
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 121
Detrás de esta cabeza de Tutankhamón aparece la mano del dios Amón, indicando que el grupo escultórico completo representaba a la deidad sentada y delante de ella, y en tamaño menor, la figura del faraón de pie. Antes del reinado de Tutankhamón, una revolución religiosa tuvo lugar en Egipto bajo Akhenatón, quien promovió el monoteísmo centrado en el dios solar Atón. Tutankhamón restableció el culto tradicional de múltiples dioses y la supremacía del dios Amón, como ilustra esta escultura.
