Face of a striding statue of Thutmose III.
JE 38234 at the Egyptian Museum, Cairo
The statue represents Thutmose III as a great athletic warrior king.
The "nine-bows," which refer to the traditional foes of Egypt, are depicted below the king's feet.
According to the inscriptions on the base, this statue was part of a group of fine sculptures that decorated the rooms of the Akhmenu (Festival Hall of Thutmose III) Temple at Karnak.
