A statue of King Tuthmosis IV with his mother, Ti-A
Egyptian Museum
The modern state
Eighteenth Dynasty
Height 111.5 cm
From black granite
It was found under the floor of the southern hall built by King Tuthmosis III in the Karnak Temple
The statue depicts Tuthmosis IV sitting next to his mother on a bench with a long armrest and holding the ankh in his right hand.
We do not know much about this statue or the occasion that made Ramses IV make a statue of him with his mother, 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.
And on the painting of dreams that he erected between the claws of the Sphinx in Giza
Thutmose mentioned the story of how Hor-Makhet, the sun goddess, appeared 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
