This is the surviving fragment of a statue of Hatshepsut in the guise of the god Osiris that stood in her funerary temple, at an original height of 11 feet. This one wears the Double Crown.
All of the Osiride statues in her temple were architectural accents, standing within niches rather than freestanding. The figures were also carved from the same material as the temple itself.
