One of eight colossal statues of Hatshepsut recovered from Deir el-Bahri , which were likely placed on the upper terrace of Hatshepsut's temple, near the Temple of en:Amun . She is symbolically portrayed as a male monarch, wearing the royal nemes headdress and presenting nw jars, which formed part of a religious ritual performed in a god's sanctuary. When Thutmosis III ordered Hatshepsut removed from history, her statues were vandalized; the uraeus serpent was broken from the headdress of this one, and the entire statue smashed to pieces, to be reassembled only after the fragments were excavated.
