Cabeça de Tutankhamon e mão de Amon

New Kingdom, Amarna Period

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 121

Atrás da cabeça de Tutankhamon aparece a mão do deus Amón, indicando que o grupo de esculturas completo representava a divindade sentada e, na sua frente, em tamanho menor, a figura do faraó de pé. Antes do reinado de Tutankhamon, uma revolução religiosa teve lugar no Egito sob o reinado de Akhenaton, que promoveu o monoteísmo centrado no deus-sol Atón. Tutankhamon restabeleceu a religião tradicional de múltiplos deuses e a supremacia do deus Amon, conforme ilustra esta escultura.
