Ancient Egyptian Carved Granite Head of Amunhotep II

Item Details

Description

Ca. 1426-1400 BCE. Dynasty 18. New Kingdom. Very good condition, with age appropriate surface wear, and no major chips. There is a repair on the beard: from directly below the lip, part of the chin (to the front of the neck) has been reattached. This clean break was discovered using ultraviolet light. Otherwise the repair is not obvious. The Lovejoy estate/probate paperwork suggested this was originally sold in Cairo, 1956. Acquired in NYC by Thomas Lovejoy in 1962.
