this statue is depicting king on an unfinished throne and on his thighs a female figure may be his wife tiye or his daughter myretaten
Place of Discovery ;
Description ;
This unfinished small statue
again shows, the new trend of Atenism, representing the king wearing the crown
of war seated on high back throne, while a female figure is seated on his lap,
resting her feet on a pedestal, and is turning her head to receive a kiss from
the king .
It has been suggested that
this female figure is princess Merytaten, but it is not normal even for
Akhenaten to kiss his daughter in such a manner, though suggestions have been
of a marriage between the two, but it was doubted by many scholars .
The female figure is rather
to be his secondary wife kiya who appears in scenes wearing such a wig .
