A statue of King Tuthmosis IV with his mother, Ti-A
Inside the Egyptian Museum, we notice a statue of King Tuthmosis IV with his mother Ti Aa, at a height of 111.5 cm. This statue extends to the New Egyptian State, exactly to the Eighteenth Dynasty.
It was carved from black granite. It was found under the floor of the southern room, which was built by King Tuthmosis III in the Karnak Temple.
The statue depicts Tuthmosis IV sitting next to his mother on a chair with a long armrest and holding the ankh sign in his right hand, but we do not know much about this statue or the occasion that made Ramesses IV make a statue of him with his mother and not his wife.
He is the son of Amenhotep II and Queen Tuthmosis IV. He is the eighth king in the Eighteenth Dynasty
Ti-A was clearly not the heir but probably succeeded his father after the death of an older brother.
On the dream painting that he erected between the claws of the Sphinx in Giza, Thutmose mentioned the story of the appearance of Hor-Makhet, the sun goddess, to him in a dream and her prophecy to him that one day he would become king of Egypt.
The statue is very beautiful and exquisite, with great craftsmanship and wonderful art by the skilled Egyptian maker
