This head represents the great state god of the New Kingdom, Amun (or Amun-Re), identifiable by his tall crown and double plumes, and exudes a calm yet resolute expression.

The damage on the right side suggests that it was originally part of a group statue, which may have included the king, most likely Tutankhamun.

A scholar has observed that the head bears notable stylistic and proportional similarities to a king’s head—probably Tutankhamun—located in Bristol, as well as to a head of Mut that has appeared on the art market, implying that these pieces may have once formed a triadic group alongside this head.
