The lecture presents representative examples from among more than 60 statues of Amun and his consorts, Mut and Amunet, created to replace images destroyed during the iconoclastic phase of Akhenaten’s reign.

The main focus of the lecture is the indispensable role connoisseurship plays in such a project – and what can result from failure to apply it.
