Statue of the Goddess Menkaret carrying a statue of Tutankhamun 3d printable modal

The goddess Menkaret is depicted in a statue carrying the seated statue of King Tutankhamun on her head. Her right hand supports the king's back while her left hand holds his feet. This position resembles how female Egyptian peasants used to carry water jars on their heads. King Tutankhamun is adorned with the red crown of Lower Egypt and a usekh collar, and he is wrapped in a shroud resembling a mummy. The goddess stands with her left leg forward, wearing a long wig and a pleated kilt. Her swollen belly and low hips reflect the artistic influence of the Amarna Period. This statue, along with two others, was used during the mystical pilgrimages held during the king's funeral. It belongs to the New Kingdom, specifically the 18th Dynasty, and was discovered in the Valley of the Kings, West Bank, Thebes. Made of sculptured wood, it is currently housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, with the inventory number JE 60716. Unfortunately, in 2011, during the protests in Tahir Square, Cairo, the statue was damaged beyond repair as a result of an attack on the museum. Initially believed to have been stolen, it was later found mutilated and discarded in a bin in the museum's garden. The statue's face, arms, feet, and the smaller figure of King Tutankhamun were all missing and the latter was never recovered.
