Akhnaton Prayer Relief Fragment

3D Model

Pharaoh Akhnaton worshipped a sole deity whom he called Aton, represented by the sun. This polychrome fragment of a column depicts Akhnaton offering incense to his sole god, the Aton, and being blessed by the hieroglyph for “life” in return. The cartouches indicate that this column dates to early in Akhnaton’s reign, no later than year nine. Some pigment remains on this fine piece of Amarna art.

Date: 1350-1341 BCE
