保留在图坦卡蒙头像背后的是阿蒙神之手，说明原本完整的雕塑描绘的是这位神祗端坐在体量较小的法老站像身后。在图坦卡蒙即位以前，埃及在阿肯那顿治下经历了一场宗教剧变，因为阿肯那顿推行对太阳神阿顿的单一崇拜。图坦卡蒙恢复了传统的多神崇拜，并重新确认了阿蒙神至高无上的地位，正如这尊雕像所示。

This beautiful sculpture, a representation of the boy-king Tutankhamun, is among the nearly sixty objects featured in the current exhibition Tutankhamun's Funeral . I spoke with Dorothea Arnold, the Lila Acheson Wallace Chairman of the Department of Egyptian Art, about the significance and style of this work.
