Description: | Granite head with Nemes headcloth and uraeus. This could either be Amenhotep II or Thutmose III. Thutmose usually appears either wearing the nemes headcloth or the white crown. The nemes head cloth was a piece of striped cloth pulled tight across the forehead and tied at the back, while two strands of cloth hung down each side of the face. The brow was decorated with a uraeus. On stylistic grounds this could be either Thutmose III or Amenhotep II.
