Hatshepsut offering nw jars, Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt, c. 1503-1482 B.C. Red granite sculpture at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City. The Donor was Rogers Fund (1920)
One of eight colossal statues of Hatshepsut recovered from Deir el-Bahri, which were likely placed on the upper terrace of Hatshepsut's temple, near the Temple of en:Amun. She is symbolically portrayed as a male monarch, wearing the royal nemes headdress and presenting nw jars, which formed part of a religious ritual performed in a god's sanctuary.
When Thutmosis III ordered Hatshepsut removed from history, her statues were vandalized; the uraeus serpent was broken from the headdress of this one, and the entire statue smashed to pieces, to be reassembled only after the fragments were excavated.
