Head of Amenhotep III Wearing the Round Wig

Cleveland Museum of Art

The stone sculpture depicts the head of a man with a round wig. The head is carved from brown stone and rests on a cylindrical neck. The wig is short and rounded, with a central parting. It features horizontal lines carved into the top and sides, resembling hair texture. A decorative element adorns the forehead, consisting of a central motif flanked by symmetrical patterns. The face has a serene expression with slightly closed eyes and a subtle smile. The sculpture sits on a beige stand against a dark grey background.
