The colossal statue of Amenhotep III and Tiye is a monolithic group sculpture depicting the Egyptian pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty, his Great Royal Wife Tiye, and their daughter Princess Henuttaneb. The statue remains mostly intact, though the figures of two additional daughters are partially destroyed and not visible in this image.

Amenhotep III, the ninth pharaoh of Egypt’s 18th Dynasty (c. 1390–1352 BCE), ruled during a time of great prosperity, diplomacy, and artistic achievement. His Great Royal Wife, Queen Tiye, was highly influential in political, religious, and cultural life, often depicted alongside him as an equal partner.

She was not of royal birth but came from a powerful family, and her wisdom and authority made her one of the most respected queens of ancient Egypt.

Together, Amenhotep III and Tiye oversaw a flourishing era marked by monumental building projects, including temples, statues, and the famous Colossi of Memnon. Their partnership is remembered as one of the strongest royal unions in ancient Egyptian history.
