Tutankhamun is depicted as a boy with a shaved head and an elongated skull, a typical feature of the Amarna style. His ears have holes for earrings. His head symbolically emerges from a lotus flower evoking the moment of creation when the lotus emerged from the Nun, the primordial ocean, from which the sun god was born in the guise of a child. Similarly, the pharaoh identified with the sun will be reborn every day. The support on which the head rests is painted blue to evoke water.
