One of the two ‘Prudhoe Lions’ of the British Museum. A pair in opposing positions were made by Amenhotep III and installed at Soleb; one was renewed and inscribed by his grandson Tutankhamon; the Kushite ruler Amanislo moved them further South to Gebel Barkal, and Amanislo’s cartouches were added.
