## Image Caption

This is a quartzite head of the [Egyptian](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Egyptian/) [pharaoh](https://www.worldhistory.org/pharaoh/) [Amenhotep III](https://www.worldhistory.org/Amenhotep_III/); the king wears the red crown of Lower [Egypt](https://www.worldhistory.org/egypt/). This style is very typical of the [sculpture](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Sculpture/) of Amenhotep III, especially in the depiction of the eyes. It also foreshadows the artistic mannerism of Armana Period at the end of the 18th Dynasty. From [Thebes](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Thebes/) (modern-day Luxor), Egypt. 18th Dynasty, circa 1400 BCE. (The British Museum, London)
