This statue is one of two magnificent royal statues which stood before the doorway of
Tutankhamun's tomb as guardians of the burial chamber. Almost identical, they differ
only in the respective types of head pieces they wear. They show the king standing with
the left foot forward in a striding pose. He holds a pear shaped mace in his right hand
and a tall staff in his left hand. In one statue, the Pharaoh Tutankhamen wears the khat
rounded headdress typically worn by Egyptian nobility. In the other one, he wears the
nemes pleated headdress reserved for the pharaoh, which completely covers the hair but
leaves the ears free.
