This
musuem reproduction is one of the 32 statues found in the tomb of Tutankhamun.
Carved out of wood, stuccoed and gilded, it shows the king with a harpoon
standing on a papyrus boat. Wearing the crown with Uraeus at his brow, a
wesekh collar, short pleated kilt with ornamented frontal tab and sandals, the
king is frozen in action just as he is about to hurl his harpoon into the
flesh of an invisible enemy.
His
pose is an exceptional occurrence in the history of a royal statuary which has
never been anything but static. The
hunt in the marshes is a theme that concerns the triumph over evil,
personified in this case by the hippopotamus in the swamp. The victorious king
defeats the forces of chaos and preserves the universal order which is his
duty to insure. Seth, the god that represents the forces of chaos and
destruction is here symbolized by a red hippopotamus being finally vanquished
by the king.
