From the Museo Egizio record

The faces of the statues of gods were patterned after that of the reigning king. Here we recognize the official portrait of Amenhotep III: a rounded, youthful, almost feminine face, with full cheeks, a large smiling mouth, and fleshy lips. The wide and elongated almond-shaped eyes, emphasized by make-up, are particularly characteristic, and so is the relief outline of the lips. Dimensions: 62 cm x 207 cm x 76 cm. Museum location: Museum / Ground floor / Room 14. Image views available: 2.
