Here King Amenhotep III is represented in classic pose and dress. Seated on a throne with both hands flat on the knees, he wears a nemes headcloth, falso beard and short kilt, which is fitted with a ceremonial bull's tail, shown between the legs. The king's names are inscribed on the front and back of the throne and on the belt of the kilt. The throne sides are decorated with a motif symbolic of the union of Upper and Lower Egypt. It was made in the 18th Dynasty, about 1400 BC, discovered in Thebes.
