Arm Panel From a Ceremonial Chair of Thutmose IV (ca. 1400β1390 B.C.) | New Kingdom This wooden ππ π²ππ« βΔ±Νmwβ panel is part of the left arm π βΛβ of a throne π¨ππ β3s.tβ that belonged to the pharaoh ππΌ βpr-Λ3β βGreat Houseβ Thutmose IV (ππ πππ«) βαΈαΈ₯wti-ms αΈ«3i-αΈ«3wβ βThoth is born, radiant of crownsβ. Traces of glue on the surface suggest that the low relief, with its exquisitely carved details, was once covered with gold π βnbwβ foil. On one side, the king πππ βnswβ is shown as a standing sphinx ππ ±ππ€ βhwβ or ππͺπ βΕ‘spβ subduing the enemies πππππ βαΈ«ftyβ of Egypt/Kemet ππ ππ βkmtβ. The falcon πππ‘π βbΔ±Νkβ at the upper right represents the god πΉ βnαΉ―rβ Horus π βαΈ₯rwβ who is identified as "the great god, with dappled plumage, giving life and dominion." The text above the sphinx's back reads: "Horus, the lord of might and action, trampling all foreign lands." On the other side, the panel depicts the enthroned king wearing the red crown π βiniβ North πΎπ βt3-mαΈ₯wβ. In front of him is the lion-headed goddess goddess Weret-hekau who is depicted in coronation scenes and is associated with the uraeus cobra π ππ β3αΈ«.tβ at the front of the king's crown. Behind the king is the ibis-headed god Thoth π βαΈjαΈ₯wtyβ who presents him with "millions-of-years-of-life π¨ βαΈ₯αΈ₯β and dominion united with eternity." A second arm panel from the same throne is now in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
