A carved head of an Egyptian male figure with a distinctive crowned/headdress form, shown in three-quarter view against a plain background.

The photograph shows a stone sculpted head and upper neck/headrest, mounted on a dark rectangular display stand. The figure has a broad face with heavy-lidded eyes, a straight nose, and a closed mouth. The headdress/crown appears as a rounded cap with layered details along the top edge. Both ears are visible and the hair/outer headdress contours are indicated by carved planes; fine facial modeling is worn but still legible. No clear hieroglyphs, cartouches, or textual inscriptions are visible on the face, sides, or around the mounting area in this image. The museum catalogue identifies the object as the head from a statuette of Amun; however, the image primarily provides generic divine/royal iconography and the specific identification as Amun (e.g., with the feathered crown) is not clearly confirmable from the visible headdress in this photo. The material appears as a light/medium stone surface in the image lighting; the catalogue states hard reddish stone, but the reddish coloration is not clearly distinguishable here.
