Statue of Senenmut and Neferure - Field Museum, Chicago Photos

Most of us are familiar with the block and seated (tutor) statues of Senenmut and Neferure. This standing statue of Senenmut holding Neferure (Museum Number 173800) seems to be unique.
 
Made of Diorite, it was gifted to the Field Museum by Stanley Field and Ernest R. Graham in 1925.

The following photographs were kindly provided by Bob Manske and Kmt-Sesh and used with permission.

The different views of the statue allow us to see this statue from more than the usual frontal views we are all used to seeing::

Wonderful statue of Senenmut/Senmut - potentially Moses - and Neferure, the daughter of Hatshepsut and Thutmose II! How exciting! Thank you for showing us these fantastic close-up photographs! Has anyone been able to translate the writing on it? I'd love to know what it says! See Let The Stones Speak Magazine, March/April 2024
