This large solid bronze item of exquisite New Kingdom craftsmanship constitutes the right side of a royal hem-em-het or atef crown for a statue that must have been over 2.2 meters (7.5 feet) tall.
This tantalizing element from what must have been an extraordinary artifact shows the feather of justice, the horn of the ram (a breed of ram with long wavy horns which disappeared after the middle kingdom), and the cobra-uraeus ‘defender of Egypt’ with a solar disk. The uraeus show traces of red and blue enamel inlay work.
This assembly was connected to the rest of the piece by the two large tenons protruding from the feather, and by attachment rings hidden behind the horn. The statue may either have been that of a king or a god, as both wore such crowns during the New Kingdom (1570-1085 BC). This piece is probably from the earlier part of Dynasty 18, before the Amarna period.
