: A piece of black and white carved stone with a pink band down the right side. It is the head of a man (originally identified as Horemheb, now thought to be Pharaoh Tutankhamun) wearing a nemes headdress with a uraeus (cobra) at the front (its head is missing). Badly damaged, with the right side of the face and the chin broken off, and the left hand side intact. Most of his nemes headdress is missing. Possibly part of a group statue.
