This figurine resembles an actual statue of Meritamun at Akhmim at the entrance to the temple in Akhmim. The hand-carving and craftsmanship are impeccable. It is made of stone, and there are references to Hathor and the throne cartouche for Amenhotep III on the statue.
Tiye is certainly one of the most prominent of the Eighteenth Dynasty kings’ wives. She is depicted more frequently than any other, and appears alongside her husband in numerous temple scenes and statues. She is the precursor of Nefertiti, both in the frequency of her image and in the religious role that she played. Amenhotep III's reign was one of relative peace, and the prosperity during his time was due more to international trade and a strong gold supply, not from conquest and expansionism. He did lead campaigns, but mainly earlier in his reign. Amenhotep built many splendid temples and statuary, including many large, lifelike statues of himself.
