The "Black Ka" statue from Tutankhamun's collection
The "Black Ka" statue from Tutankhamun's collection 3-31
It is made of wood, the body was painted with tar, and the uniform is gilded and inlaid with bronze. It was found in the famous tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings, west of Luxor.
The statue shows the king standing with his left foot ahead of his right, holding a suppressed staff with a pear-shaped head in his right hand, and in the left hand there is a staff under his hand like a lotus flower.
The king wears a headdress known as a khat, leaving his ears exposed and a cobra on his forehead for protection from enemies and evil people. The face here is without a beard, and the eyes are inlaid with bronze and the eyebrows with gold.
The belt clasp contains the crown name of the owner of the form of Ra, and the kilt bears the inscription “Osir-neb-Khebru-Ra,” meaning the Lord of the Two Lands.
A gilded waistcoat and a wide chain hang from the king's chest, and gilded bracelets adorn his arms, and the slippers are also made of gilded bronze.
The statue appears influenced by the Amarna school of art, and this appears in the prominent belly, thin legs, pierced ears, and black color of the body to evoke the Osirisian ability to resurrect and live.
