Statuette of Akhenaten offered

Represented standing in an offertory attitude, the pharaoh holds a slab on which food and lotus flowers are depicted. His head is surmounted by a blue crown and he wears sandals on his feet and a pleated skirt at his waist. She is in a static posture, with her legs together, underlining the solemnity of the gesture of offering to the god; her skin is rendered in yellow, evoking the rays emanating from the solar disc. The statuette had a cultic function in the private sphere.
