Like the Lamassu, this statue is very large in size. Its proportions, however, are much more realistic and provide a different visual experience as it is three-dimensional all around. However, it reveals sunken relief inscriptions around the base of the statue of what appear to be hieroglyphics. Again, like the Lamassu, Tutankhamun wears a headdress and beard. He also wears a collar, a kilt, and holds a dagger with representative meaning inside the waistband of his kilt. The dagger he wears has the head of a falcon, symbol of the god Horus, protector of kings. Tutankhamun's headdress and double crown indicate his royal status, and his beard shows his wisdom and ability to lead and rule. The enormous size of the statue enhances King Tutankhamun's power and status as a king in ancient Egypt even after death, as he is thought to have been one of the most popular kings of ancient Egypt. The statue is seventeen feet tall and is the largest statue in ancient Egypt. King Tutankhamun, unlike Lamassu, was a king and was not alone in his sculpture. His power is represented by his dominance and size rather than the symbolism of an object or animal. There are small feet that can be seen behind him on the base of his sculpture which is said to be that of his wife. The statue does not appear to be threatening, although powerful, it simply indicates a great ruler of high rank to be remembered always and forever worshiped rather than evoking fear of the Egyptians
