seated statue of Hatshepsut

Student’s Name: Instructor’s Name: Course: Date: Seated Statue of Hatshepsut The object is called the seated Statue of Hatshepsut. The statue depicts a female ruler in ancient Egypt, and the icon appears like a male Pharaoh, but it retains feministic traits (Gaylord PP.49-59). The Seated Statue of Hatshepsut is a splendid monument that represents a queen who ruled over Egypt. The artwork represents Hatshepsut. It was designed by Egyptian called Senenmu in ca. 1473-1458 B.C (Gaylord PP.49-59). This statue is composed of indurated limestone and paint. It stands at the height of 195 cm, width of 49 cm, and a diameter of 114 cm. This statue is controversial because it provides mix signals on the intersection of leadership on gender dimensions; the status is designed in an approach that employs both masculine and feminine characteristics. Pharaohs and bandits have damaged diverse statutes associated with Hatshepsut; could this reflect negative ideation that the society possesses against women? The status is laced with the ceremonial attire of the kind; this is ironical, was Hatshepsut trying to copy masculine leadership strategies? She wanted to become a king; why not the queen. There is a possibility that the queen is considered a feministic name and its leadership perspectives and capacity may not match that of ‘a king’. The statue has a ranger of features that can confer diverse meanings. The Seated Hatshepsut is dressed in King Pharaoh ceremonial regalia to create the impression of ability and power. The statue has a completely feminine structural design; this is supported by key feministic titles, for instance, Goddess. The Seated Hatshepsut has the Nemes and the Shendyt; this was used to fight off viewpoints amongst the Egyptians that women did not have any ability to rule not lead. The existence of royal families was the only available chance that women could become queen. Both legs of the statues have hieroglyphics carvings; these curving are inscribed with titles such as Goddess, Mataare (Pharaoh’s representation), Daughter of Amun, and the Lady of the lands (Laboury PP.18). These titles conferred authority to Hatshepsut. When the dorsal view of the Nemes is examined, one can notice blue, red and yellow paintings; these paintings could have been done to facilitate the prominences and the visibility of the Nemes. The statue is also laced with feministic features; this is illustrated by prominent lips, arched eyebrows, small nose, firm breast and slim waist (Laboury PP.18). Egyptian ancient history indicates that Hatsheput was the most successful female rulers. She declared herself the king for a few years during the reign of Thutmose ...
