The statue can be dated on stylistic grounds to the middle of the Eighteenth Dynasty and represents either Tuthmosis III or his successor Amenophis II wearing the white crown of Upper Egypt. Subsequently the names of Ramesses II were carved on the belt and shoulders, and those of Merneptah on the chest. Made around 1450BC found in Thebes at the Temple of Karnak.
