Portrait of a King

A gilded wooden statue thought to represent Akhenaten portrays the pharaoh with a soft facial expression, sagging shoulders, and protruding belly. The small figure may have been placed in the shrine of a private home at Amarna. Once crowned, the controversial pharaoh changed his name to Akhenaten, moved Egypt’s capital, gave art a new look, and turned his back on an ages-old religious practice in order to worship a single god, Aten.
