Esfinge de Amenotepe III

New Kingdom

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 119

Esta pequena esfinge de faiança azul brilhante está inscrita com o nome de Amenotepe III. Suas feições estilizadas são familiares em muitas estátuas deste faraó que chegaram Até os nossos dias. A iconografia da esfinge com as mãos humanas sustentando vasos com oferendas já exista no Império Novo e mostra um faraó oferecendo algum tipo de pequena figura que por sua vez está representada na postura de uma oferenda.
