## Image Caption
Detail of Hatshepsut, Eighteenth dynasty of [Egypt](https://www.worldhistory.org/egypt/), c. 1473-1458 B.C. Indurated limestone [sculpture](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Sculpture/) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York [City](https://www.worldhistory.org/city/). Hatshepsut is depicted in the clothing of a male king though with a feminine form. Inscriptions on the statue call her "Daughter of en:Re" and "Lady of the Two Lands." Most of the statue's fragments were excavated in 1929, by the Museum's [Egyptian](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Egyptian/) Expedition, near Hatshepsut's funerary [temple](https://www.worldhistory.org/temple/) at Deir el-Bahri in [Thebes](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Thebes/). The torso had been discovered in 1845, taken to Berlin, and acquired by the Museum in 1930.
