Pharaoh Amenophis III (1391-1353 BCE) in chariot wearing a crown with the uraeus cobra. God Nekhbet (vulture) is depicted hovering with her wings spread above the royal image, clutching an ankh (symbol of life) in her claws. Next to the Pharaoh is a depiction of his cartouche (Symbol of the royal name). Relief from the Temple of Merneptah (1213 - 1203 BCE). Merneptah used stones and reliefs from the 150 year older nearby Temple of Amenophis III (1391-1353 BCE). In some instances, he had his own carvings done over the original ones, in other cases he just reused the whole lot. This has resulted in an abundance of the wall-decorations showing Amenophis III in Merneptah's temple. Luxor , Egypt; New Kingdom (18th-19th dynasty).
