Ritual Statuette of Thutmose III

The Met Fifth Avenue Gallery 118
ca 1479-1425 BC. New Kingdom. This figure is the earliest known New Kingdom royal bronze statuette and, with a few Late Middle Kingdom copper and copper-alloy precursors, it initiates the tradition of bronze statuary in Egypt. It is a "black" bronze, darkened to heighten the luster of its precious metal inlays.
