This head is one of three in the Museum's collection that belong to four Osiride figures of Hatshepsut that decorated the sanctuary of Amun in her funerary temple at Deir el Bahri. The head wears the White Crown of Upper Egypt and was originally at the southern end of the sanctuary. Another head (31.3.153) wears the Double Crown and came from the northern end. Like all the architectural limestone sculptures in Hatshepsut's temple, the sanctuary Osiride statues were painted, but they are distinguished by the unusual light pink pigment used for their flesh tone.
