Limestone Group Statue of Amun and Tutankhamun, usurped by Horemheb
This Group Statue shows God Amun seated and beside him King Horemheb standing wearing the Nemes Headress with a cobra. Amun is shown in a larger scale than Horemheb to indicate the idea of the god is more important than the pharaoh. The style of the statue is typical of the period immediately following the religious and artistic revolution of King Akhenaten. It's believed that the Statue was made for King Tutankhamun but later it was usurped by Horemheb but distinguishing between faces of the two Kings was difficult and there isn't any traces left of rewriting of Hieroglyphic Inscription.
Displayed in Thebes (Loxur), Egypt. Dates back to the reign of Horemheb, The 18th Dynasty, The New Kingdom Period (1319-1292 BC). Displayed in the Egyptian Museum in Turin, Italy.
