Tutankhamun on the Back of a Leopard
This statuette is one of a pair featuring King Tutankhamun on the back of a leopard. The king is shown standing with his left leg forward on a rectangular pedestal fixed to the back of the leopard.
He holds a long staff in one hand and the flail in the other. The king is wearing the White Crown of Upper Egypt with a cobra on his forehead and a large collar that covers his chest and shoulders and terminates with a row of drop beads.
A tight-fitting loincloth tied at the front and incised with fine lines covers his lower body. He is wearing sandals.
The exaggeration of the king's features shows the influence of the Amarna style of art.
