This fragment of beige-coloured quartz probably belongs to a sphinx statuette, indicated by the nemes headdress, the end of which takes the form of a tail. The facial features, with the large eyes stretched towards the temples and surmounted by moderately arched eyebrows, the straight nose, and the serious mouth, neither thin nor thick, bring to mind the iconographical features of Amenhotep II.

Ce fragment de quartz beige appartenait vraisemblablement à une statuette de sphinx, comme l'indique le némès se terminant en forme de queue. Les traits du visage, avec de grands yeux étirés vers les tempes et surmontés de sourcils modérément arqués, un nez droit et une bouche sérieuse, ni mince ni charnue, évoquent l'iconographie d'Amenhotep II.

Wie das Nemes-Kopftuch andeutet, das in Form eines Zopfes endet, gehört dieses Fragment aus gelbgrauen Quarz wahrscheinlich zu einer Statuette in Sphinx-Gestalt. Die Gesichtszüge mit großen zu den Schläfen gezogenen Augen, die mit maßvoll gekrümmten Augenbrauen versehen sind, einer geraden Nase und einem ernsten, weder zu dünnen noch zu fleischigen Mund, rufen die Bildnisse Amenophis II. ins Gedächtnis.

Questo frammento di quarzo beige apparteneva verosimilmente a una statuetta di sfinge, come indica il nemes terminante a forma di coda. I lineamenti del viso, con gli occhi grandi allungati verso le tempia e sormontati da sopracciglia leggermente arcate, un naso dritto e la bocca seriosa, né sottile né carnosa, evocano l'iconografia di Amenofi II.

Este fragmento de quartzito bege pertencia provavelmente a uma estatueta em pose de esfinge, como o toucado nemes indica com a sua terminaç&atilde;o em forma de rabicho. As feiç&otilde;es, com os grandes olhos oblongos e as sobrancelhas ligeiramente curvadas, um nariz recto e uma boca séria, nem fina nem carnuda, evocam a iconografia de Amen-hotep II.

Este fragmento de cuarzo beige perteneció probablemente a una estatuilla de esfinge, como lo indica el nemes que termina en forma de cola. Los rasgos del rostro con grandes ojos estirados hacia las sienes y rematados con cejas moderadamente arqueadas, una nariz recta y una boca seria, ni fina ni gruesa, evocan la iconografía de Amenofis II.
