Ancient Egyptian statue of Tuthmosis III, 1504 - 1452 BC, 18th Dynasty. Kunsthistorisches Muesum Vienna inv AS 70. Diorite. Despite the absence of an inscription naming the king depicted in this smiling, idealized likeness, he can be identified as Thutmose III because of its similarity to other securely dated sculptures of him. Here he wears the nemes, the traditional royal striped headcloth, with a rearing uraeus-serpent at his brow and a king’s wavy false beard.
