Hatshepsut’s granite statues were discovered shattered to pieces at Deir el Bahari Hatshepsut (𓇋𓏠𓈖𓎸𓏏𓄂𓏏𓀼𓏪) “imn-ẖnmt ḥA.t-šps.wt” ‘United with Amun, Foremost of Nobel Ladies’ is kneeling in adoration and offering to small jars of oil to the state god 𓊹 “nṯr” and her divine father 𓇋𓏏��� “it” - Amun-Ra 𓇋𓏠𓈖𓇳𓏤 “ı͗mn-rˁ”. The fragments of these statues 𓂙𓏏𓏭𓀾 “ḫnty” were discovered during several seasons of excavations by the Museum’s Egyptian Expedition. The statues were reassembled as much as possible in the field (see attached photographs). Fragments of the statues given to the Metropolitan Museum were reconstructed in New York by attaching them to metal armatures and filling in the gaps with plaster. Although the plaster has been tinted to blend with the stone, it is possible to distinguish the original stone fragments from the plaster fill.

Artist's Sketch of a Sparrow.
Depicts a delicate sparrow perched on a slender branch.
The artist has captured the bird's essence with swift, flowing lines, showcasing its small, rounded body and distinctive beak.
The sparrow's feathers are suggested through light, feathery strokes, giving the impression of softness and movement in the breeze.
Its wings are subtly hinted at, slightly folded against its body, conveying a sense of calm and tranquility.
The eye, though simple in its design, exudes a sense of curiosity and liveliness, adding a spark to the otherwise understated sketch.
Overall, the artist has captured the essence of this small bird, portraying its beauty and grace through minimalist yet expressive lines.

Esboço artístico de um pardal.
Retrata um delicado pardal empoleirado num galho delgado.
O artista capturou a essência do pássaro com linhas rápidas e fluidas, mostrando seu corpo pequeno e arredondado e seu bico distinto.
As penas do pardal são sugeridas através de pinceladas leves e plumadas, dando a impressão de suavidade e movimento na brisa.
Suas asas são sutilmente insinuadas, levemente dobradas contra o corpo, transmitindo uma sensação de calma e tranquilidade.
O olho, embora simples em seu design, exala uma sensação de curiosidade e vivacidade, adicionando uma faísca ao esboço discreto.
No geral, o artista capturou a essência deste pequeno pássaro, retratando a sua beleza e graça através de linhas minimalistas mas expressivas.
